Back to 44mm from 42mm and couldn't be happier.

I traded my 392 – even though it's the better size for my smaller wrist, it just didn't feel right. I've had my eye on a 233 for a while – the slimmer case is so comfortable and the dome crystal is just stunning. And even though there's far more going on than the 392 it still looks clean and tidy (to my eyes anyway).

I am absolutely delighted with this watch:

Great choice, many congrats. It looks right at home on your wrist The 233 really is a fabulous piece and if it wasn't for the 689 and 533, it's the one I'd have chosen.

Great choice, 233 has been my favourite ever since I got into Pam.
