Bryan,better do so asap before this dotted AM/PM all gone...fyi the L serial 233's 24hrs indicator has changed to the 270 indicator design.So there are only 4500 pcs of this dotted AM/PM in existence...

I know and that's the one I want. I don't like th am/pm as much. I'm just happy I got my 190 before it gets impossible to find. Only 2000 in existence of those I think.

You rock louie... Great watch - great pics... Very nice...

I need to check but, I think I have am/pm.....

I am good though - because it's still a 233...

I have a SS Daytona... to be honest and no offense to my Rolex friends... I think 233 for sure... now, vintage Daytona... Would be more difficult.

Was the same for me, i was thinking off getting the 233 or the 270, as i love the 50's case and the domed crystal, however after a certain person posted his 217 here ... (thats you Gus) i pulled the trigger for a 127 what i originally was dubbing about.. i have to say im just in love with the watch..
