663 and 233 shots

Hi, a couple of years ago I got a 233, bought various straps since then. Last month I bought a 663 - different strap size obviously, and I just got my first 26mm strap and took some photos - and thought I would share.

Thanks for your comments.

The strap on the 663 is from Malio Straps, an Egiziano I Serie.

and on the 233 is a Bosphorus Gotham 02.

I've not seen many 663 photos on aftermarket straps, obviously with the colour of the face not everything will work well, so if anyone else has a 663, post some photos please!

Love that 663 on a distressed leather strap. It's an incredible look

Nice 233 shots. It looks like it still has the original slimmer PR track dial. How long have you had the 233 and any issues with it? The 233 dot dial really intrigued me but the reports of the PR sticking has me wary.

I've had it for 2 years. It does sometimes stop when it gets down to showing about 2 days left.. i usually wind it before then though.

Slimmer but the actual indices are longer right iirc? I heard when panerai got their hands on it they'd switch up the slot size which is ridiculous.

I had a dot 233 that didn't exhibit any issues. Should've never let it go.
