Not Good

I looked at the 233 for the first time. Gee, thanks guys

How is this piece in terms of thickness compared to say a 111? Also, how hard are they really to get? Retail?

Thanks!

Awesome watch. They wear very comparable to a 111. I have tried it one and I own a 111. They are not hard to get and I've been seeing them used for 10k. You could also probable get a new one for 10-20% off with the economy lately.

I'll be so fricking jealous if you get that bud!

They're nice, and i really wanted one, until last week when i had the offer and it just doesn't look right on the wrist, i wish panerai did a 40 or 42mm one.

What PAM is that in your avatar? I thought it was a 44mm?

Ryan,really, I think if you are used to the 44mm the rest will not look right.Both the luminor and 1950's cased Luminors wear very comfy.
My wife has tiny wrists and she wears a 113.It looks fantastic !!! Her female patients oooooooo !! and aaaaahhhh !! many times.Lets put it this way,my AD gets many referals for "treatment of the urge for Panerai" !!
