There are good days, then there are gr-8 days!

[Jay]

And today is a great day!

Thanks to a fantastic mate, after years of trying to prize it from his grasp he finally relented and this beauty is now mine!



and it now proudly joins my other 8 day....





Happy days!!

[Steveh]

Very nice
Maybe one day.

[Tomw2000]

Nice. Really like that.

[kungfugerbil]

I love the radiomir, really smart. Well done :)

[JMW]

My personal favorite Rad and i also love the 233 as well .

Congrats on a fantastic pair

[shadowman]

A great pair indeed. Had both and miss the 190 the most, should have kept it!

[Stanford]

Congratulations Jay, you can celebrate the deal with a big fat cigar

[Utred]

It's the GMT for me - not that I'd mind wearing any of them!

[Jay]

Cheers for the kind comments!

To say i am chuffed is an understatement! The 233 is my favourite watch and one that i hankered for for a long time, the 190 is similar in that respect that i've wanted to for ages! I am fairly sure the 233 will remain my favourite but the 190 is going to come damn close!!

And it took something this special to bring me back to buying again, there has been nothing i've wanted so haven't bought a watch since the end of 2010!!

Congratulations Jay, you can celebrate the deal with a big fat cigar

definitely Bob!...you know where we'll be

[RAJEN]

Very nice,congrats!

[gusmac]

perfect! two of the very best from the last 15 years or so. The JLC 8 day movement....yum!

Visible through the back is the perfect location for the power reserve indicator. So nice.

[Alessandro]

Congratulations, and what a pair!

[TimeMatters]

Lovely pair, I have the 233 and now you are making me get that radiomir

[bazza.]

I'm still loving my 190 think its a keeper for now anyway ;)

[robcat]

Both lovely watches, but I think I prefer the clean dial of the Radiomir.

[hobsong1]

Beautiful Pam right there!! that was worth waiting for.

[chicaneuk]

Out of curiosity how do they manage to get an 8 day power reserve into the watch when normally you only get around 48 hours? And is a side effect that you need to be particularly active to fully wind it up to the 8 day reserve? Just curious to know how it works really :)

Absolutely gorgeous! I am trying to be 'sensible' and not buy anymore watches, but I will have to get a Radiomir.......they are simply beautiful & yours is the best of the breed.......enjoy!

On the 233, the in-house movement has 'three barrels' to store the power. I don't know on the JLC manufactured 190 movement tbh, but probably a similar arrangement. As they're both manual winders your wrist activity level is irrelevant

very nice! my 268 says hi!
