I would.Trade the 233 for a DSSD or 372,if you have access to one.

HELLLLLL No. 233 is a much better and proportioned watch than the DSSD which the Rolex design team completely dropped the ball on.

I just did a Google search on what a PAM 233 looked like. Looks like a Timex. Not kidding.
The DSSD is the most awesome watch on the planet. How can you even compare. Really?
Plus that ridiculous thing around the winder? lets get real here. Anyone. Enough of this nonsense.

I have a DSSD and want a PAM. Been studying them to see what I want. I NEVER wear my DSSD anymore. I haven't worn it since Christmas Eve. I let a friend wear it to a wedding a few months ago. It's a little sentimental to me because it was a college graduation present. I wish it wasn't my first new Rolex or I would dump it now. I hate to admit it but I really don't care for it anymore. I would keep the PAM. The DSSD is too thick and way too much unnessicary text all over the watch.

Well, it all depends on what you are looking for in a watch. I cannot categorically say that the 233 is better or worse than a DSSD. And it also depends on what else you have in the collection.

As pointed out, you are really comparing apples to oranges. I rather think those watches compliment each other very well and would make a great combo rotating in between the two! :-)

Go ahead all the way out for DSSD... Guarantee u wont regret...

vincent_drlin · 21 February 2012, 05:11 PM

233 is more valuable than DSSD.

htc8p · 21 February 2012, 08:19 PM

no 233 is more advanced imho. the only dssd can brag about is water resistance

watchaser · 24 February 2012, 04:29 AM

i wouldn't do it. 233 is my all time favorite pam. 1950, sandwich dial, gmt, 8 day movement.. it's a beautiful watch.
