Rad Mad Disease

[rulessapt]

Help, I'm infected with Rad Mad Disease.
I'm looking for the temporary cure, the acquisition of another Rad to compliment the #287.

Looking simpler this time round, need a sandwich dial, want to keep it simple and not burst the war chest. Decision narrowed to

210
or
183

Which one, why?
Price is similar, both used examples. Will be a daily wearer and get its share of knocks, just like the #287. At least those knocks will be shared with the #287.

Question for mfer. Mik, if I chose 210 are the gold hands readily sourced?

Yesterday I bought an OEM gator brown strap for the new choice, yet to be made.

Thanks, look forward to reading your replies, after a kip.

Cheers
Richard

I would get the 210.

You know my vote and just for the record, my hands are not OEM, so yes, they are easy enough to get, but it takes a few weeks.

OEM hands can be had but will take longer and cost you ~300 euros. I like my non-OEM (slightly larger) hands well enough.

Why the 210? The balance is just perfect to me and seems more historic like my grail the 3646. LOVE the 12/3/6/9.

183

210 gets my vote

I would say 210 over 183...but either would be great!

210 gets my vote but the 183 is nice too.

[mfer]

FWIW you can get gold hands for a 183 as well, but 210 still rocks!

Thanks for the input folks, I've scratched my itch with the 210. From a fellow TRF member.

Mik, thanks for the support, I'll send you a PM with my contact details, I'd like to order a set of those gold hands, please.

Ahh, now I can relax a little, sit back and wait. Australia is a long way from the USA.
Might just look at straps.

Another Rad, Mad Rad Disease is a pleasant feeling. Very pleasant, and wonderful to share with fellow PAM owners.

210 hands down!

Got your pm Richard. I'm out and about on this perfect weather day. The hands won't be coming from me, Japan or Hong Kong if I remember.

EDIT: I made some time and you should have a PM Richard!

Big Thanks Mik,
What a PM, mate, thank you. The information is extensive and I've tried to take it all in.
Sent off an email, received a reply just a few minutes ago. A language thing to work out, but it will happen. As an update, he does accept PP, takes the hassle out, eh!

The #210 owner/seller went the extra mile and sent if off today. It will head to a friend in Califooya, then relayed across the Pacific by another friend at the end of next week. A little while after that, it should be in my hands.

Enjoy the wonderful weather, I'm polishing my old car today, an annual event.

cheers
