Pam 233 or 533

Anyone have any input about these two models? Similar in function but slight difference in appearance.

The main difference is that the 533 is an auto, whereas the 233 is a manual.
Personally I prefer the 233.

533 also has a 10 day movement and the addition of the 9 numeral. It's also considerably thicker. Nice watch, but I prefer the 233 for the domed crystal and slimness.

233 without hesitation for the thinner case, dome, non-ecru lume and manual wind.

There are so many this or that threads and most of them don't have pictures! Too lazy to look them up...anywho, I'd say 233, I know what that one is.
