PAM 233 Dot
I currently own this and it is a full set including inner and outer boxes, all matching tags, etc. etc. Currently contemplating selling this. Is that a mistake? I do enjoy the watch but I could see myself living without it. I just am concerned I’ll have sellers remorse and it will be near impossible to replace it. Please talk me in or out of it. Thanks

I still think it is one of the best looking models, unless like me you feel in the end the dial might be a little too busy. I had a Panerai GMT and let it go for a “plainer” model.

I had one for a couple of years. It outlived a 390 Base, but after a while I felt it was just too busy. 6 months after selling it I realised I missed having a Panerai but I went back to base with an early 112.

I had two 233s (AM/PM and Dot Dial). I missed that watch but like others on this thread, I went for something a bit larger and simpler. I wanted the four cardinal numerals and the domed sapphire and ended up with my PAM 217. Still love the 233 and was thinking about getting one again but I think buying it three times is too much LOL.

I have bought and sold 3 Panerai's all with GMT complications(PAM531/PAM944/PAM533) because it was my second alternative choice to a Rolex GMT-Master II.
I had enough so I went grey to get 126710BLNR this year and never looked back. So if this is your alternative choice, why not get the watch you want. Just my 2 cents. |

I have a long love/hate relationship with Panerai as a brand. I was in deep in the early to mid 2000's and then moved away for a number of reasons. I am back now and have reconciled my feelings and thoughts on the brand and enjoy the watches greatly. I had admired the 233 from afar since it was released and the domed crystal really makes it for me. I have the dot model and with the strap options it might be one that never leaves the collection. I also own the 317 that is a similar blacked out watch with the AM/PM and chronograph. The 233's are difficult to find in the condition a collector would want and the price are strong. I would not sell it. Give it some wrist time, change the straps and enjoy. Let us know what you decide.

![]() I've had many different models such as the 000, 312, 504 and many others. The 233 has never left the collection. There's just something truly special about it for me. |

Didn’t you just pick this up a couple months ago? I remember because I was hoping to get to DSW to see one IRL before buying one.
Either you need more time to bond or the honeymoon is over. Good luck with that. |

You are correct.
You are correct. I do enjoy the watch, but what I have realized is a lot of Paneristi are info straps and strap changes and that is not me. I’m leaning towards keeping it at the moment.

I would keep it. The dot variation is hard to find and a pure collectors item.
BTW strap changing is overrated ![]() |
