Any advice? PAM 231 or PAM 233

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.

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.

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

TWO THIRTY-THREE!!!!!!

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.

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

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 !!)
