Happy to see a new face, here!
As for your question, Shall I or not???
It seems that you already have the answer, as the most important is not the others opinions, but yours...
What do you think?
Are you really in love with this 233?
Does the watch speak really loud to you?
If yes, you should jump on it...
If not, here I am, me and my opininon...LOL
Well, I don't like the Horizontal power reserve, I don't like it at all, as it looks like a pumpkin...
I don't like the busy dials of the modern panerai, and I just give you an advice...Be very careful, you may get tired of it very quickly, as some of my friends who got it, re sold it 2, 3 or 6 months later...
Panerai watches are very nice, very strong, very apppealing and sexy, but I'd say the simpler one, the more sober of them...Not with a dial with a Power Reserve indicator, a date and a GMT...
I owned till 30 pannies, and the most complicated was and still is a Chrono Mare Nostrum....
But, once again, the most important is : Does this watch speaks a lot to you?
Best, my friend.
