$10,000 or Less RAD
Ok I would like to know what everyone will pick if you have $10,000 or less to spend on any Panerai Radiomir?
My choice will be 338 or 292 or 210. Let see those RAD pics.

That wasn't for sale. Cosmic Mike's watch. Just a test drive. Only time I've ever seen one and I love it!

How about 380 and leave the additional $5.5K or so left in the bank and earn interest! Simple, basic, clean.. whatever you call it.. its the best bang for the buck and the look I say!

Best bang for the buck for me would be 210. If money was not an issue then 231 (maybe slightly over budget), 232, or 292.

Well if it came down to it, I think you have the money piece right now. I just love the 190. Perfectly executed and the movement is just uber delicious.

190 is a classic. i also quite like the 42mm RADs (337 and 338).

338 for me.The only way it could be improved IMO is with a tobacco dial.If it were down to $ and sense though (and if I had the wrists to carry it off ) I would go for a 210 and do the gold hand swap.

another 210
IMO - the Radiomir has to have a sandwich dial (except for 249) |

Yeah, they aren't at your AD, but they can be had for under 10k on the used market pretty quickly. I bet if you asked Greg, David, Oscar, etc, you'd have one soon.
