Wrist shots of the 233

The 233 recently caught my attention and must say it's a beautiful watch. Any owners out there with some good wrist-shots?

Also appreciate any thoughts on the watch from owners...

Here's one pic I found on the net to start it off...

Thanks Ryan - wow that is stunning! Especially on the brown leather strap...

What is it that's different about the look of the 1950 case? Is it the larger size and slightly thinner crystal?

Hi Steve,

My wrist is about 6.75", so quite a slim wrist for a Panerai, but it looks and feels fine

I notice you're in Andover as well, i used to work over there until last year at the base, nice area.
