424 is too thick for my liking, diameter and lugs are good.

I remember a 25 looking very small dial wise, but that was years ago. Not a huge fan of the cyclops. 233 and 249 is what I need to try on I think!

Here are a couple pics of my 233 to hopefully push you over the edge

You know, if manual with date and PR, I would consider. Quartz seems like zero cool.

Your trio is well rounded and quite complete looking.

Are there any other brands that appeal to you?

PP - I decided I'm not classy enough for the brand
AP - No size that works for me (15300 doesn't even fit my wrist)
Omega - only like FOIS look or 45th. Problem is I like the look, not chronos
Tudor - I got the BB (79220r), nothing else interests me
Rolex - yeah I like them and have 3 (16610, 116610lv, 16710)
FP - I have yet to see in the metal, but the "bleu" looks interesting but probable to classy for me.
IWC - love the BP. They need a 42mm version of it (like the portuguese case) for my wrist.
Blancpain - bathyscaphe is real nice, but think I'll tire of the dial. Bezel clicks bother me.
ALS - the up down is cool, but I need to see
GO - finish is great, case proportions don't do it for me

As I'm typing all of this, I also realizing that I likely am a collector of similar items. I get excited when I have all 3 of my Panerai together or all 3 of my Rolex. Can't explain it, like seeing them in groups. The Tudor is out there and doesn't get me as excited, but it is such a good deal that hard to justify selling it.

I'd go with Panerai if that what excites you. Funny thing is I am the same way. In theory I want to venture out and pick up something different like an AP RO 15300/15400 or Speedy, but I can't get another BLNR or PAM 372 out of my head. I feel like I'm gonna end up with a bunch of PAMs and Rolexes when I'm done

So you haven't really thought about it yet?

I tried to get away from Panerai and Rolex. I tried everything!!!!!!! Don't get me wrong, others are nice, but for the money, Rolex and Panerai seem to do it for me.

You mean 15300 too big or too small for your wrist?

[rejilius]

I was in dilemma between PAM 312, 320 or 233, at last I acquired 233 and is very very Happy as 233 very nice sit in my wrist rather than 312.

No regret with 233

The bracelet couldn't wrap my wrist. I guess my wrist is pretty flat and the natural shape of the 15300 bracelet is more round.

Even posted about it

I 100% agree on all your points on the brands and models above. for my more adventurous watch I picked the 39mm Ralph Lauren automotive chronometer with burl wood dial to go with a 42mm PAM337 (could not track down a NOS pam338)
