The other factor, though not a popular one, is you always have the option of a ss bracelet with the 320.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1412958714.504010.jpg
I absolutely love everything about mine, and its nice to know I bought the perfect modern example of a Pam for me. I love the fact that it has that beautiful 9 on the dial and the power reserve on the back. I tried on the 233 and its a more refined watch with a slightly thinner case and that beautiful domed crystal, but I much more prefer the thicker more rugged case on my 320. The thing that I've always loved about Panerai is their simplicity and effortless style. It seems to me that they've gotten off track and are trying WAY to hard these days. Just my opinion. Good luck!

any further advise?
Yes, buy the 320 (329) - it's a great PAM

Go for it

EDIT: Steel is real, but I have to say that the 351 (352) Titanium case & tobacco-brown dials are also

i did get the 320 and absolutely love it.. the 1950 case is fantastic. i also love the stainless steel option however if i may ask, how much did it cost you to add a bracelet option to your 320?

here's mine saying hi

Congrats! That looks very sharp on you! I paid $1600 for my bracelet. The funny thing is I could have bought the 329 ( a 320 on bracelet) for $200 LESS but I chose the 320 because its an even number and just think its a cool # for a watch lol! When buying these things, it's always best to make your final decision with what feels right in your heart, not what other people may think is right. It seems to me that's exactly what you did. Good for you. You will be very happy with that watch. Lots to love there!
