My 233 for sure.

Most expensive watch I have acquired myself but not
the most valuable watch I own.

That would either be my AP or a STUNNING old Repeater Pocket Watch I own.

Up until this morning it was my 111 but I had to make a trip to the AD to swap a JV strap and ended up buying a 312. Now I'll likely need to sell the 111 and perhaps my Omegas to fund it. I put $500 down on it today to hold it in their vault, I have a year to come up with the funds.

TR, personally - I think the 312 is the way to go. All the beauty of a 233 but lower price point.

One thing I would do for sure...... just me..... wait..... I know how hard it is for us watch guys to wait...

But, my advice - wait until you physically see and hold them both! Then and only then decide. Don't buy into the "there will never be another one" hype... (Like I'm one to talk here). Hopefully, you are more disciplined than me and for that.... smarter!

Good Luck TR!

Are you guys serious? IMHO the 312 is no where close to the beauty of the 233. Maybe I am thinking of a different model 312 is 3 day marina auto? The 233 has perfect balance domed crystal and 8 day manual. I rarely wear my 270 due to the fact my 233 and 289 are perfect. IMHO the 312 is more comparable to 104. Now picking between a 312 and 000 may be slightly more difficult. I personally had to have a logo in the collection but opted for the 005. If I did not have a plethora of pannies the 312 may have been an option but not for me.

I will...Soon enough I will flip all my Rollies, except the Date 1500 & DJ 16233.
My Date 15210 I will flip for 000, and my Sub ND for 312...That's my planning...

I like simple clear dial, so I will go for 312 and erase 233 from my list.
that's the plan...
