The 233 will lie a bit flatter has manual wind, 8 day movement, and beautiful domed crystal.
1033 gives you stunning blue dial, 3 day auto.
They both give you power reserve indicator, GMT, date, crystal vase back and fast change strap mechanism.
Pro for 233 the crystal - IMO far better than a flatter one. And, the movement.
Pro for 1033, dial is a beaut, convenience of auto and cheaper.
The 233 is classic, the 1033 modern classic.
Given price difference I would maybe start with the 1033, and in time consider a 233 in addition.

Hey , really appreciate your detailed response on this. Its the exact same reasoning given by you which led to this confusion as I read more and more about Panerai.
Both the watches look and feel amazing on the wrist. The blue on 1033 is stunning and the 233 being a classic make this choice extremely tough. Of course i would love to have both. I might just take up your advise and pick up the 1033 and try it on a dark brown gator strap. For black dial i will do with the BLRO i picked up recently. Appreciate your help. cheers.
