Congrats Mik - a real classic the 232!

TSW · 14 December 2012, 05:04 PM

Love it!

ec10020 · 14 December 2012, 05:55 PM

we have the same taste mfer but i dont think you shouldve gotten rid of the 210, as its now discontinued.

the 210 is the perfect rad size at 45mm because it can be worn as a slim dress watch.

the 47mm radiomir is the historical size so its a good collectors piece but its wearability is now neither here nor there, because its not as sporty as a luminor, but too big to be dressy with a business suit.

Jonathan007 · 14 December 2012, 06:05 PM

Mik congrats, looks lovely!

Psmith · 14 December 2012, 06:09 PM

Congrats - great result

cedric · 14 December 2012, 06:55 PM

wow.. what can one else say about 232 for a radiomir. Now... perhaps a 249, followed by a 449.. u got yourself fully covered for a radiomir collection. Congrats again.

P.S. Time to "dress" the 232 up first, ammo, vintage or a ABP Special Tanning Croc would be so sweet for the 232

nice move, mik, congrats! always good to scratch that itch after such a long time.

I hear you. I considered owning both for a time, but financially it just isn't in the cards. The good news for me is I don't dress up frequently at all. My work is casual now, so historics are good for me. Won't say I won't miss the 210, it is an incredible value and I still tell anyone out there to get it.

Thanks!

ahhhh, you know how my mind works. 249 is already in the back of the brain and boutiques won't call me back about 449.

I have all the straps ready to go for it. I'm going to have a few more days of enjoying the OEM boxed goodness. This thing is truly MINT.

Thanks!

And it was a bad itch. I think I have considered this watch on and off for about 3 years now. Thanks Cru!

Thanks Patrick. I think you should get one. It is 47mm but doesn't wear 47mm. You'd love it!

So, I REALLY switched up my collection!

Out with the 210 with gold hands, in with a MINT 232. I hardly had any sun left tonight and the pics are not great, but here are a few.

I'm in

with this thing! Hopefully I'll have some time for better pics tomorrow.

Wrist shots will have to wait. I've only wore this thing for like 5 min. I'm still enjoying the newness of it all!

Big time congrats buddy!!!! 232 is a beauty and with current market prices, a great buy for sure! i wish you many years of enjoyment to come!!

Best,

Fred
