If you are one the fence about getting a 210...

[mfer]

...get it now. Discontinued.







with modified hands

[eric23]

I kind of miss my 210. I really like the Rad style.

[Shade]

Really? Its discontinued? Hmmph, I havent been able to spot one in my country!

[Norway]

Great pics. Thanks for sharing!

[psv]

That 210 with modified hands is what I want! Luckily "only" 45mm! :-)

[Rollie2011]

Really?

Are they replacing it with a similar model?

No, as of right now. No more base 45mm Rad.

That is a shame. Its a real good looker.
Grab it while you can I suppose

[Sweramic]

Love it! Too bad it's too big for me

Give it a try first before dismissing. It is very flat and wears much smaller than 45mm. I have only 16,5cm wrist and I feel it fits nicely.

[esm]

so... which series would be the last batch?

are they discontinuing the 000 also?

Mik how do you find the 47mm PAM like your 372 is it ware way bigger then a 44 or 45?

[B. Doggy]

Wuh?!?!? Good thing you held onto that bad boy, my friend!! Now you got me thinking again. Oh boy...

I don't own a 372, just tried on a friends. I want one badly, but alas it doesn't appear to be in the cards.

I have tried on a 232 and found it doable. Definitely wears smaller than the 372. 372 is actually REALLY pushing it for me. Probabale too big, but sexy as all get up.



Truth be told the 210 fits my wrist best at 6.5" (or 16,5cm for the Euro's) but the 232 and the 372 just look so nice and historic. I'll never be able to afford a true vintage, so these would be my consolation.

Some say I look like a clown wearing them both, but I wouldn't wear it to a job interview, but would have no problem wearing it to work if casual. Don't care what others think fully. Opinions welcome, but mine is the one that counts the most for what is on my wrist.

[subtona]

double post?

[subtona]

that puts a smile on my face... i really like mine

[esm]

I have a 7.25" wrist and found the 372 to be on a larger side. I could probably pull it off, but it'd be "just" IMO.
On the other hand, the 44 Luminor (non 1950 case) and 45mm Radiomir wears better for me. I found the 1950 case to be on the taller side, but it is Di-able for me too.

Here are some compario Wrist pix (no, I don't own a 372)









Can't remember this reference, it is just massive



Have also tried 232 and 249 a few times, at 47mm, it is also do-able for me as the Radiomir generally wears flatter on the wrist.

Mik I have only tried on one 47mm, it was big;

The 305/bronzo's do not wear small at all. I've tried on a 305 and I didn't even buckle it on. The think is literally like a tuna can on my wrist.

It terms of size on the wrist 47mm Manual Rad much smaller than a 305/bronzo.

Maybe someday I can try on the 372.

For most people: you don't wear a 47mm watch. It wears you! ;-)

I have 7 1/4 wrists too, and I'm 6'1"/185cm so not exactly tiny, but I still feel a 372, or any 47mm+ watch is too large for me. No, it is not because I'm old, grumpy or conservative in a fashion-sense, I just feel that the presence of the watch becomes too much.

Here is what my [former] 372 looked on me





43mm is big enough for me! :-)

The 372 does look a bit big on you.

I have 7" wrists and I am 5,7", It might be a bit big on me too.

On the upside, it sits rather flat as it is a manual wind, which is buttery smooth!!! (as smooth winding as I ever experienced, I must say).

I think if I was operating in a different context, had another line of work or if I was living in another city, I would quite easily overcome my objections to the 372 and enjoy the heck out of it. It just doesn't work for me at this moment.

If I get the 372 it would be more of a weekend watch, not real the best size for the office.

I loved my 183 but always felt the 45mm rads wore a little too small. Need 47mm rad

[subtona]

had a 47 rad "232" for a bit... found it too big and to me, it felt a bit out of proportion compared to the 210... the numbers were actually bigger on the 232 than the 210.

the 210 Rad in my opinion is a great size, plenty big enough.

there is no way i would feel comfortable with a 47 luminor on my wrist

[rulessapt]

To get back to the subject, shame the 210 is to be, or is discontinued.

Mik, if I see that special ABP again I'm gonna scream ;-)
Damn, that's one striking strap for a Rad.

Cheers
Richard

[Shade]

I just got myself a 183 instead of a 210, I find the 210 too similiar in the dial with my 176.. and I like the seconds hand for a more dressy look. :)
