Or, the 292 for even more simplicity, if the 643 doesn't do it for you.

As for the 384, I think the "fang" power reserve works much better on a Luminor like the 233. Rads really are most special, IMHO, with two hands and 3/6/9/12 on the dial (or the Cali dial, of course). YMMV.

Good luck with the choice!
