I like the submersibles and just got the 1389. Very different wearing experience than the 233. I like the look of the 233 and the domed crystal is wonderful. The only thing about the 233 is they have always had issues with the movements and functions. Do a little research on them on Paneresti.com and you will see what I mean. I would be tempted to trade out of the 233 for something else that I wanted. By the time you pay for the 1-2K service and go without the watch for the next 8-12 weeks on the short end, with summer vacation coming for the Swiss watch makers. It might be easier to get something else you would enjoy and not absorb the service costs and time for a watch you will be back to have serviced in 2-5 years. Just my thoughts. Also, you should be able to negotiate well on a new Panerai as they are at an all time low on popularity. Good luck.
