Thoughts on the 268....

Folks, as some of you may know, I've been diligently searching for my next PAM. I first started off with the 292 and 312, then bounced over to the 233. I must admit, the 233 is pure beauty! But, what about the 268? What's your take on this Rad? From what I've been reading, it was the 3rd in line to get the in-house movement. Certainly an underrated watch in comparison to the 233 and 190.

Appreciate your thoughts!

It is just your preference. I'd like it more, if it were simplier on the dial.

I like this one a lot too, but am not a fan of the magnifier. I think the magnifier takes away from the clean dials.

Sup guys, long time no post!

I have a 268L myself. When searching for a Rad, I settled on this one, then added a 292 to complement it. I love the in-house movement and the thicker case that comes with it. I have since decided to sell one of the 2, and I decided to keep the 268 and move the 292. The 190 was my original choice but it is much higher priced in the market, for obvious reasons.

Hope that helps!
