Hi Guys

The deal was too good to miss! I swapped my DSSD for an unworn PAM 233 with the dot dial.

I decided to do the swap as I figured it would only get harder to pick up the 233 with the dot dial as these have been superseeded by the am/pm marker on the dial which I find too busy.

I know I will be able to pick up another DSSD at some time in the future and have to tell you all it was hard letting it go, however I can't see too many new / unworn 233's with the dot dial being around in a couple of years when I will be ready to pull the trigger again.

Very happy but also a little sad at the same time!

Congrats.

Sounds like you'll be coming back soon.

mjclark32 · 13 February 2012, 09:56 AM

Congrats on the pick up

joleel7 · 13 February 2012, 10:04 AM

As a DSSD owner I would do the same as well. There is something special about 233.

FeelingTheBlues · 13 February 2012, 10:21 AM

Congratulations on that trade, glad to know you're happy with it!

azguy · 13 February 2012, 10:23 AM

How about a pic

MortgageGuy · 13 February 2012, 12:22 PM

Very nice!!! I have had both and ended up keeping the DSSD but the 233 is amazing, such a comfy watch too

Jibba · 13 February 2012, 12:26 PM

Seems like a good trade value wise. Love the 233, but I know it was hard to let the DSSD go....

kilyung · 13 February 2012, 12:26 PM

For an unworn 233K? That's a great deal on your end.

SaddleSC · 13 February 2012, 12:44 PM

Congratulations! I LOVE the PAM 233...any pics to share?

Lion · 13 February 2012, 12:53 PM

Sounds like you are happy about the trade and got what you really wanted and that always feels good.....and as you said at a later date you can always repurchase a DSSD!!!

collegeparkrolex · 13 February 2012, 12:56 PM

This thread is worthless without PICS!!!

errol0_7 · 13 February 2012, 09:03 PM

Ignore the date I was too excited to set it and just stuck in on and drove home from the shop!!!

errol0_7 · 13 February 2012, 09:04 PM

It was an unworn watch and a great deal BUT! I did have to add a little cash to make it work.

As always the pain of parting with the cash will be soon forgotten.

Have a great week all.

mailman · 13 February 2012, 09:07 PM

Good for you John

I myself think the 233 with the dot is much more appealing than the am/pm marker

Unworn too you say? That's a no-brainer in my book

Enjoy it

Oyster Junkie · 13 February 2012, 09:09 PM

Congrats! Awesome piece!

Psmith · 13 February 2012, 09:25 PM

travisb · 13 February 2012, 09:38 PM
