Should we have a 233 sub-forum?

I'm getting a feeling that i may not be the only 233 owner on this forum these days

Not enough traffic probably, but I'd certainly visit it.

Not enough traffic, Panerai have produced around 4000 233s, i think 3875 of those are on this forum

Has anyone heard the suggestion that the new 233 will have the am/pm rather than the dot on it!!!

If so that makes the 3 years of 'dot' production a very sought after piece for the future doesnt it!

The new 233 will have the AM/PM indicator, which is totally baffling as i cannot understand why they would change their most successful in-house model, the 270 struggles to sell, so they change the 233 to look more like it

yes to the 233 sub forum. a big no-no to the am/pm indicator. why can't panerai leave the dot alone? it was pleasing to the eye.

rumour because it's got to do with the "teething" mechanical issues,some had complaint the PR "teeth" stop on the 3rd or 4th day...


i read it on other forums,they said the 270s are harder to comeby than the 233s.

Why not have a sub-Forum for each model.

Im a 'wanna be' 233 owner and WILL be before March 2010 ! - who knows, if someone has one for sale at the right price it could be alot sooner or if the GBPUSD improves; 1.64--> heading to 1.85 ? :-)

After all the recent purchases my question now is, should the rest of the panerai models have a sub-forum
