Also love the Pam00233 and Pam00270 look. They are the best ones and gettable in near future, being not super expensive, but the 270 has been discontinued for 533?! Like why? 533 doesn’t even have a domed crystal? 233 is great looker too but has a manual winding mechanism and the difference isn’t much between them then might as well get the 270. But since its already been discontinued....

So is there any other model that you’ll think fits the bill too?

Hey - welcome
A 1950 case with domed crystal is my favorite combination (as with my only two PAMs currently)
I also LOVE the manual-wind 8-day mvmt and find the 10-day + automatic quite the luxury, for lack of a better term, but you've made it clear that it's a desirable complication.
270 does indeed fit your bill and there are currently 10 for sale on Chrono24 (Google it if necessary). There may be a similar model to the 270 but it will most likely be in gold or other precious metal so most likely out of your range. The 270s appear to run around €9-10K so cheaper than a new 233 (but there are 30 used up for sale on Chrono24, incl. some unworn).
I'm also assuming you appreciate the 1950 case? the alternative would be a 372-based case and/or the "1940" variant. Most of those however are equipped with the P.3001 3-day handwound mvmt, so not really what you're aiming for.
So that's all I got... maybe someone else can provide alternatives but given your "wish list" you'll probably have to go with aftermarket to find your ideal PAM. Good luck to you
p.s. Regarding the domed crystal - I'd say it's pretty robust. I've yet to hear anyone trashing it by running into a door frame etc. I wouldn't lose any sleep over that
