My first Radiomir has arrived !

Hello all! I just got this morning, a BNIB 210 M series! Full set, signed warranty card everything.
Wow, such a beauty in the flesh and fits perfectly! I tried on a 183 about a year ago and was taken by how nice the rad actually looked on me (before that I was only interested in luminors). I'm a bit afraid to try changing the strap. I'm sure I'll get around to it though, but I'll have to read up on some tips.

Thanks for everyones tips and recommendations! I thought hard about a 190 but it was a little too out of my price range. Thought hard about the 292, but thought I preferred SS, even though I like the look of the ceramic.

Also thought about the 183, but I really liked the pics I saw of the 210. Plus finding one bnib make it an easy choice.

If I work up the nerve, I'll throw it on one of the few 26mm straps I still have around here. Needless to say, this will be my watch this weekend!

Thanks! Watched a youtube video on radiomir strap changes which was helpful. Got the hang of it by the second wire lugs. Here's an older Heroic 18 that will do nicely while I wait for a wotancraft 74 over the weekend. Better pics later with my nice camera.
