A Panerai 233 has joined me in my quest to stay Rolex free

I finally bought a Panerai 233 which I was always on the look out for. I prefer it to the Panerai 1033 GMT which I had before for several reasons. This is very refreshing compared to a Rolex. I discuss why I bought it and why I like it.

    If one wanted just one Panerai, the 233 is definitely up near the top of the list of contenders! I don't have a 233 yet, though it is likely my next purchase. I went the other way in Panerai ownership and acquired nearly a dozen of them. Somewhere in the collection are all the elements of the 233, just not so nicely embodied in the one watch. As similar as they all are to each other, I find each one in my collection has their own unique aspect. Wouldn't have guessed a few years back that more than half my collection would be Panerai, but here we are! IMO, things to love about the 233... The right balance of wearable size while remaining true to Panerai's original larger aesthetic... the crown guard is iconic... sandwich dial is a must... the domed crystal adds a whole other dimension to enjoy... manual wind just feels so much closer to the origins of mechanical watches... (traveler) GMT has to be my favorite complication for practical usage... not just hacking but zero-reset seconds is a really nice, and under-rated feature... power reserve is useful and much more symmetrical than some implementations... great color combo (not such a fan of the fauxtina present on other models)... overall symmetry missing on many of the Luminors (having a "9" but not a "3" bothers me, if I stop to think of it)... display back for greater appreciation... great, now I've just talked myself into buying one sooner than planned! I'm wearing my PAM 200 today, white gold Radiomir with the same movement, as well as sharing many other aspects. Almost as perfect as a single Panerai as the PAM 233 would be!

    Loved the video. Great commentary. Couldn’t agree more w/the observations on age/dress/profession commiserate choices. One very well may have the money to buy a $45k DD at 28, but trust this - no one is confusing you with Richard Dawkins, Daniel Boulud, or JFK. Real stripes are earned, not bought. Re - when best to wear, I tend to wear these sort of pieces when I know I’m going to need some beauty during the day. Not dissimilar to a gorgeous pocket square or particularly special cuff links. Re - the model, this is where reasonable minds can differ. I personally prefer the white script and find the overall new dimensions better than the former model. Thanks for the video, Mike! Always love watching your content.

  • @marshalbass7098

    Very good observations. I concur with everything you said. I was originally going to buy the preceramic sub date, but when I tried it on it was too thick. So I did research and learned that the no date was thinner. Pulled the trigger without ever trying it on and it ended up being perfect. Years later, still havent sold it.

    IDK…Leaving factory stickers on one’s Rolex eventually leaves the watch looking like a beautiful woman with a peeling sunburn on her shoulders and forehead… Adding aftermarket stickers…..well….. something in me thinks that’s a new soul vs old soul argument. These things ( cars, watches, leather goods and clothing ect ) are meant to be used and given a life by using them during your own.

I think 🤔 the minute hand covered the date window. It looks amazing 🤩, yet I am not yet convinced to buy it as I like and own the anniversary SD43 and have no problem neither with its big size nor the cyclope !

    This channel and “uptickwatchreviews” are my favourite watch channels. I’m completely the same, I pretty much only buy black dial watches (maybe a white dial if I’m feeling exotic) because anything too out there I get tired of. I daily a Speedy and it just never dates, its always relevant. I like the classics, Subs & Speedys. Same for cars too, basic 911s, Lotus Elise, Caterham 7 and Land cruises. Came for the watches, stayed for the collectors mindset!
