Anyone knows this seller?

Hi all, been wanting to get 233 or 270. I'm really dreaming about the watch everyday haha... 233 is slightly cheaper than 270 but I think there are only slight differences between them.

Recently went to Paneristi and this seller Lorinser Benz has a 233 for sale. E mailed him and told me it's sold already. But he offered me 270. Question is has anyone deal with him before? Cos buying 270 involves a big sum of money and trust and I do not want to jump in like that. Can anyone advise me?

Thanks Louie! Miss the boat of getting 233 from you. Ask you something... Why is it that 233 is more popular than 270, though there is only small differences between them?

Thats how I view it...

small differences?!?! boy you gotta try em' man!! Below are the small differences of the 233 and 270...

1. 270 case is thicker than 233. (cos of the automatic movt in the 270) 233 is definitely a better choice due to my small wrist..
2. Movt of 233 is 8 days hand wound vs 270 10 days automatic
3. Dial layout design is different,i would prefer the 233 over the 270 dial cos i love the bigger numerals markers of the 6 & 12...simpler & cleaner dial layout and well balance as well imo.
4. The dotted AM/PM indicator vs the arrow AM/PM indicator. I would prefer the 233 AM/PM dotted indicator,enjoyed looking at the risen "sun" in the day and vanishing "sun" in the evening.. (i take the the dot as the "sun")

Preferred manual than automatic,this is my first manual watch and boy i'm surprised i enjoyed winding her up after 10 days!
