557 vs 233 Thoughts?

I purchased my 2nd Panerai last year, the destro 557 (also own a 425) and now I'm still lusting over the 233 (am/pm). I know they are both apples vs oranges but I want to hear your expert thoughts if you have to pick between the two. Thanks TRF for this great community and sharing of knowledge. I appreciate all your replies.

assuming the 425 stays, i would take the 233 over 557 because the 425 covers the ultra clean side of things, while the 233 has great functions (GMT & 8 days), has the dome, has a more versatile size, and is an important piece in OP's history (first inhouse).

that being said, i would probably take 557 + 233 over 425 + 233....

easy. It will be 233 by a 99-1 margin.
