I've been wanting one for a while. They are a bit hard to find, only made for 3 years, about 2000 in circulation. IMHO, this is the Radiomir to have. While it's not an in-house movement, it's a lot more than a run of the mill ETA movement. What was I waiting for?

Apparently the JLC movement in the 190 is actually a much more efficient design than the more recent 8 day Panerai version. Cleaner dial too.

Nice.

Agreed. I much prefer it to the 268. I don't like the date or the power reserve on the front.
