Which is very good for me as Im a buyer - unfortunately all of the above have been located overseas and I want to do a face to face transaction here in the UK.
I believe another one has just been offered on the other forum for EUR6600 (near mint) based in Italy.
Overtime I think this watch will hold its own and be somewhere in the 10k -20k bracket.

I would have grabbed the £5350 one, you'll not find another cheaper now, the problem is that due to the market most prices have dropped, but with the dot going out of production it may well put the prices back up a little or stop it dropping, add price rises onto it and that £5350 was a bargain price (i would add that i think i know the 233 you were offered, and it wasn't mint, infact it could have done with a service which pushes the price up by £300-400 and six weeks away!)
I think that in 5-10 years time, and a few more 233 series the dot will start to go up a little, it might become one of those chased after, but it's a long way off, i think in the next 2-3 years the dot will start to go up with the price rises and maybe a little extra, depending on what Panerai release.
