Which one should I get? I was ready to pick up the 231 when I found out the AD had the 233. I allready have a PAM 111 and I tend to lean more towards the Luminor rather than the Radiomir, however I do not have any gold watches.

Browining · 24 December 2008, 03:04 AM

If it were my choice I would choose the 233 for the inhouse movement especially if it is a later model with the quicker and easier strap changing system.

Thanks for the advice I do like the fact the 233 has an in-house movement.

tuisquash · 24 December 2008, 04:59 AM

233 8days!!!!!!!! i like it.

argee1977 · 24 December 2008, 05:01 AM

233, end of thread

mfer · 24 December 2008, 05:14 AM

I must admit, if I were to own a gold watch, it would be the 231 but with that said.....

TWO THIRTY-THREE!!!!!!

Welshwatchman · 24 December 2008, 06:28 AM

8 day movement or 18ct?

What about the 289.

Andad · 24 December 2008, 08:40 AM

289 is very nice but the 231 is classic.

Now that is a watch right there, YUMMY!

ASH · 24 December 2008, 11:19 AM

That 289 is sick ass sweet! I don't believe that I can afford one (out of my league)

Trurolexer · 24 December 2008, 11:25 AM

ABSOLUTELY 233 is vote.

exchange83 · 24 December 2008, 11:38 AM

233 for sure.

Trurolexer · 24 December 2008, 11:44 AM

P.S : But 231 look so BEAUTIFUL too. Classic!!!

brainbizz · 24 December 2008, 11:56 AM

Heres my 2 cents. For occasional wear with dressy shirts 231 cant be beat. It just wears and looks good. For more of a daily sportier watch 233. Tough call between the 2 would give the edge to 233.

niels74 · 24 December 2008, 02:05 PM

i just flipped a coin .. 233 .. would be my choice due to the in house movement.

anyway with such a choice you really can't go wrong..

ASH · 24 December 2008, 04:50 PM

Than the 233 it is. Thanks to all for your input.

TswaneNguni · 24 December 2008, 04:52 PM

The 231 is one of the biggest bargains in the Panerai world.

TswaneNguni · 24 December 2008, 05:00 PM

.... and the 289 is "da' King " !!!!!

TswaneNguni · 24 December 2008, 05:07 PM

VazLube · 24 December 2008, 05:23 PM

104 .... 3-4/7
242 .... 2/7
231 ... 2-3/7

Depending on mood for the day ...

289 .... special ocassions eg. GTGs/meetings/weddings/funerals ..... dont want to be late for ones own !!! .....

(Sorry,overtired today 16h working days,for the past two days and very little sleep,so the humour a bit darkish today !!

)

ASH · 25 December 2008, 04:09 AM

I really love that 289! And those pics of the 231 makes me take a second look.
