I learned a long time ago... Don't sell you PAM straps as you'll need them again in the future.

I like ceramic too, just too many I like more!

I'm just saying, the cost of the case repair is as much as the watch costs on secondary market. I'm not saying it is fragile, but a drop on a tile and game over. A few hundred bucks insurance and you are covered!

All good. I understand what you are saying.

The only bit of criticism is that they should have blacked out the movement and used a clear sapphire instead of the smoked crystal (as they did with the Tuttonero). I like the movement well enough for a clear view.

Wow - awesome look on the rubber. How does it sit on the wrist compared to the 233?

About the same as the 233 just lighter. Different animals though. The sheer beauty of the 233 is hard to top.
