I figured I needed a Lum to balance out the Rads
Always loved the simplicity of the 111, so I traded my 183 today for one and I am very happy

But I have a feeling that a 183 will make it back in the collection in the near future. Now slowly looking for a 183 G

I know the feeling - sometimes I have to purposely take an alternative and longer routes to get where I need to go just to avoid stepping in a watch store.

I think.....I'm addicted

Thanks Mike - all those 111 images you posted didn't help

Seriously though - it's a classic and I love the sandwich dials

Hi Zed,

I actually tried the 231 on last week, and it looks great in the showcase but not so much on my wrist.

We'll see what comes my way, as I am still looking for a 183 G (Black Seal at 6) and possibly a 190, but I would have to give up one of my watches for that.

Cheers,

Eric
