Radiomir Black Seal PAM 183

I'm considering adding a Radiomir PAM 183 to my PAM 233. Is the PAM 183 considered to be a good option for a first Radiomir model? Or should I be considering another Radiomir model? I have two Rolex Subs so adding a Submersible is not an option at this time. I feel like the Radiomir is something different. Thanks for the feedback. And as always, photos are welcomed! Guy

I think PAM 183 ticked all the boxes for first Radiomir. If you consider cleaner dial: PAM 210 or 232.

I’m a 183 fan myself. Good pick.

I have owned the 287 which is similar to the 183 but has a date. Check it out. I currently have a 992 and really like it and it is somewhat of a value pre-owned.

If you like California dials the 424 is fantastic. I tried one on at our local boutique a while back and really liked it

I really like how the wire lugs make the watch wear smaller, plus it’s a throw back

Big fan

I have a 183G. It has the decorated movement with a display back. 45mm is a nice size as some of the radiomirs are 47mm.

Basic and pre-owned older Panerai of the past are great. Solid DNA and are priced nicely in secondary and a great model especially in the G serial with decorated movement.

These would all be considerations if I were looking for a classic Rad.
