RADical addition to the collection

I blame Paul in this thread:

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=190051

and a few others for causing me to take a closer look at Radiomirs, and picking this up this afternoon. It's a PAM 380. It's the brother to Paul's 210.




Still waiting for a longer black alligator strap compliments of my AD. The OEM strap is a little short for me, but wearable.



Lastly, another closeup.



I also rationalized the purchase by thinking that this would make 14 total in my collection. It was really haunting me that I had a collection of 13 watches.

I love it Jay--HUGE CONGRATS on the Rad 380!!

You are going to love that watch--the logo is AWESOME!! The Rad is just a perfect watch to me.

I am glad I could help you out (and you really need to blame Mik and esm, they were the ones that forced me to buy)

<<---Jay's house right now.

Congrats!

14 is a great number and the 380 is a star in my view.. best bang for the buck and you have so much going for it... the logo, the painted dial and solid case back.

Enjoy yours in good health!

Best,

Fred

Awesome! I really need to see one of these in the metal. I have a 183 and love it but I bet the sausage dial really pops. My only complaint of the 210 and 183
