233 for me? Help convince me.
I'm looking to pick up another Panerai. Long story but wanted a third 311 or 351. A 233 was suggested. Please convince me with pics and reasons why I should pick one up.
Thanks, Everett Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have have been dealing with the same dilemma. Trade my BLNR for a 233 (and some cash coming back to me). It's hard since Panerai's popularity has been a bit waining and there are a ton of a great many deals to be had on the secondary market. Only problem is retaining some of the value (monitarily speaking only), since the 233, IMHO is one of Panerai's best. Waiting to see what you decide. Cheers!

Great piece, but also check out the 320.

I've looked at the 320. A 312 is 160 grams. Weight is important to me for all day comfort. I was surprised when Panerai told me the 233 was 135 grams compared to 117 or 124 for the 311 or 351. I prefer the seconds reset and get functions on the 233 as well. I haven't had a ss Panerai in years. Not since my 104. I'm currently using my 15710 AP diver most days. This Panerai would be my daily. I'd go back wearing my AP on weekends and special occasions.

I so loved my 351's gold hands. If it had the 320's movement I'd stick with it!

Lol, the weight issue I've been obsessed with has become less of an issue since I got my AP. Even the ceramic diver is heavier!

The only thing stopping me from picking one up is the 533. Go for it!

Ah, I liked the 270 more. I don't like the ecru lume.
