Picking among Radiomir's - 98, 184, 190

[papasmurf]

hi all- am thinking about picking up a radiomir. Specifically I have in mind one of the 3 models : 98, 184 and 190

i know 190 is a totally different animal than the other 2.

personally, i like the look of the 98 the best. But I have read that the GP move is relatively fragile. While I dont wear my watches rough, I hate having to repair things. if I had to choose between durability and delicacy in a compromise, I would go with durability.

I was wondering how they compare in terms of :

1) Maintenance - how often do these need to be serviced and how much does that cost?

2) Resale - although I have never sold a watch, seems like my taste keeps changing and at some point there is no point in having too many watches (I have 5 already). Looks like 184 is the least desired of the 3. 190 easily the most sought after (but also costs 2x)

3) size - I have actually never seen a 42mm rads in person. 190 is on a large side for me. do 42mm rads look "elegant" or kinda "puny?" I have tried on 40mm luminors and I didnt like their size on me.
