232 vs 190
If you we're to choose between these 2 beauties, which 1 will be your choice?
232 - 47mm, SE, 56 hours PR... 190 - 45mm, JLC movement, 8 days PR, display back... Share us your thoughts... |

190
-45mm case is infinitely more "wearable" -display black is nice - especially with this JLC movement -gold hands - including the seconds hand -8 days of PR can come in handy on a manual wind watch -thicker case makes it feel just as substantial on the wrist as the 47mm 232 I owned a 232 and while it was a historic piece I couldn't wear the 47mm everyday. I couldn't get over the price premium over the 210 for a mere 2mm either. My next Radiomir will be a 190 for these reasons. |

I have both and wear the 190 alot more.
Actually thinking of selling my 232 and 249, as they are not getting the wrist time they deserve. Prefer the 190. Not so much the size, but the 8 day reserve, the seconds hand. For the 232 I really really like the larger dial and the larger numerals that are cut out. They are much more pronounced and visible on the dial.

190 for JLC movement. I was quite upset that 190 is not in production that I want to buy it for myself.

Of the two choices the 232,but from the same era,the 249 would get my blessing.
 Now since I am dreaming ,why not the 262 !!!!
