I am selling my PAM 416 and what do you suggest for my next PAM? I have my heart for 233 but wife may kill me for spending 10K+ for 233

Get the 233! Easier to ask for forgiveness

Sounds like it is worth the risk to me!

you guy are evil

thx guys

You're selling the 416, so, you're not spending anywhere close to 10k to pick up the 233. Plus, in the long run, if you don't do it now, it'll be more expensive for you.

sphereman · 12 March 2013, 06:59 AM

233 is a great choice. personally, i would get a 422 :)

geekyjeff · 12 March 2013, 12:00 PM

The 233 is perfection. I just recently bit the bullet and went for it. It sure hit the wallet hard, but no regrets at all.

DiverAsia · 12 March 2013, 08:36 PM

I would agree, the 233 is the one you should get. In the long run, It's cheaper to get it now as you know you'd get it anyway at some point in the future at its inflated price.
Bite the bullet!
Cheers!

I should go check a 1950 case on my hand but I have a DSSD so thickness should not be a problem. Thanks everyone for your suggestion

I guess the first question is why... just for a change? Next, would you consider 47mm PAMs?

I'm thinking any of the new 4xx historicals (372, 422, the new Rads - Cali and SLC dials, etc). What about going with a Sub (305, for example)?

All of the above are priced sub-233.

Speaking of the 233...

joleel7 · 13 March 2013, 12:35 PM

I am thinking of 372 as well but i kind of want a date and 47 may be a bit big. BTW beautiful 233!

TonyD · 13 March 2013, 10:09 PM

Speaking as a guy who finally located a 233 Dot I can say that it was worth every penny and every hour spent on it. You should be able to find one between $9-10k for sure. You will NOT be sorry!

What about the 424 - 47mm Cali-dial Radiomir w/date (& logo). I don't normally condone dates on historicals but WTH

Compared to the DSSD, the 372 "looks" smaller - probably because it's a little less thicker. I tried the 372 on and it "looked" fine on my 6.75" wrist. Plus the Radiomir is supposed to look even smaller... .

Or you can go with the 233...

rolex75216 · 14 March 2013, 01:01 AM

Just tell her it will be your last watch, until you buy the next one!

White_Au · 14 March 2013, 01:45 AM

Get the 233 with the DOT indicator, then tell her it is an "older version" and was "on sale" and "look how much money I saved us"

You should be in the clear after that.
