Showing the subtle differences of the PAM 270 vs PAM 233. Notice the bigger font size of the 12 & 6 on the PAM 233. The longer hour markers on the PAM 233. The lesser calibration on the PAM 270 power reserve. The larger power reserve circle indicator on the PAM 233. The thicker minute hand of the PAM 270. And of course the more obvious differences, the AM/PM indicator differences and the and the absence of the "9" on the PAM 233.

Which dial do you like better?

argee1977 · 11 March 2009, 05:36 AM

All the reasons why i picked the 233 over the 270

simbal · 11 March 2009, 05:50 AM

IMHO I like the more balanced feel on the dial of the 270.

WatchTimes · 11 March 2009, 06:25 AM

233 Hands down...
At first I questioned myself when I got the 233
for MANY reasons (AM/PM indicator, Auto vs Manual etc)
BUT now that all is said and done I wouldn't even consider a
270 (unless you want to give me one or trade even out on my 233)
Also, I hear the 233 is changing on the dial a bit this year (AM/PM indicator for starters)

I think the 233 is nice and clean looking! The issues I questioned at first are all the things I love about it!

GBJIV · 11 March 2009, 07:41 AM

233 for me... I believe there is an AM/PM dot on the 9 for new 2009 models ...

I will see in April when I get mine!

argee1977 · 11 March 2009, 09:12 AM

The 233 is getting the AM/PM indicator this year, it's in the brochure. It's ashame though as the dot looks good and doesn't mess with the dial, i also hear the price for the 233 will be going up due to this 'update'.

louie · 11 March 2009, 10:08 AM

233!! not a second thought..

hflee55 · 11 March 2009, 10:35 AM

i love the 233.

WatchTimes · 11 March 2009, 02:15 PM

Good!
I am glad they are messing up a perfect watch.
See, their error will make this watch even more collectible!
First in house Panerai, an amazing in house movement and a classic dial
now being screwed up (in my humble view)
Regardless it will still be an amazing watch BUT mine will be more unique!

233 for me too!!

Trurolexer · 11 March 2009, 04:02 PM

233 Absolutely!!!

E.Peynado · 1 October 2010, 01:59 PM

270 !

PamFan113 · 1 October 2010, 04:23 PM

270 all the way for me..

alexhr · 1 October 2010, 04:23 PM

233 dot dial for me.

mike · 1 October 2010, 04:29 PM

Both are amazing pieces.

I tend to lean toward the 270.

Philipa42000 · 4 October 2010, 02:59 PM

They both look fantastic. I like the 270 a little more.

Michael M. · 5 October 2010, 01:03 AM

Pam233, but both are pretty cool!

Randy · 5 October 2010, 05:16 AM

I vote for the 270, winding the 233 is a chore!

psv · 5 October 2010, 07:41 AM

Can I mix and match? ;-)

Auto wins every time, this is 2010, you know...

B. Doggy · 5 October 2010, 11:33 AM

233, hands down.

Shade · 6 October 2010, 01:15 PM

8 days dot for me. 10 days is a great watch, but between those two, I'd take the 233.

GadgetGuy · 6 October 2010, 01:56 PM

Got myself a 233K. 8 day manual, DOT indicator, sits on wrist better than 270 (270 is really thick and sits really high on wrist).

dotcomakazee · 6 October 2010, 11:14 PM

233!!! I have never understood why they put a 10 day power reserve on an automatic watch.

I agreed

multimedia · 7 October 2010, 01:56 AM

233 is the easy choice for me.

I'm a big fan of the AM/PM indicator, so it's nice to see this "function" on this model as well.

233 all day!

Time Collector · 16 January 2013, 11:17 AM

Pam 233 all day, I just didn't like the way they tried to squeeze that 9 in front of the am/pm indicator on the Pam 270

233
