My new PAM has arrived...
...it’s a 210 N-Series. After really enjoying my 351, I started to get the Radiomir bug. That had me looking at everything from a 210, 183, 338 and several others. I wanted to start with w/ a base to get a feel for the Rad.
For me the 210 was the ideal balance--clean dial, sandwich and clear back. The 183, while I like the logo, was too busy on the dial. 210 was a good starter Rad for me. Well of course I didn’t need to look too far, as our local AD (DavidSW) came through once again for me--he produced another flawless transaction. Initial reaction is WOW. Perfect fit on the wrist, low profile, light...loving it!! Have a new croc black strap incoming for it. Sorry for the bad inside shots. Still at the office, so using camera I have here.   With 351

Big Congrats, Paul !!!
 For all the reasons you mentioned (except that i have the 312 and not the 351, which is basically the same design), i was looking for a 210. But a unique chance with the logo came my way that i coudn't refuse. Still i love the 210 and i hope that i'll meet it somewhere down the road. Big congrats again on a great Panerai duo

Good stuff. I know you have gold hands on the 351 but I saw someone that had put gold hands on the 210 and it looked great.

Nice addition! I have my eye on the 210 and will probably be adding it to my collection shortly as well.

Thanks guys. This 210 is perfect for my needs. I wanted something a little more dressy than my 351 (for the rotation), and this is ideal. Anyone on the fence about a Rad needs to try one on. Actually seems smaller than my 351 on the wrist, even though 45mm vs 44mm, and it's VERY comfortable.
Oh boy, now the expensive part--26mm straps galore.

I was thinking the same, Paul !!! If i'll buy 210 or any Rad i would have to start buying straps from the beginning. With 312 and 000 i can use my (already) 10 straps to both of them, which is something. |

Huge congrats Paul on the 210. I find Rads to be really comfy on the wrist, great purchase.
