Hi Guys
The deal was too good to miss! I swapped my DSSD for an unworn PAM 233 with the dot dial. I decided to do the swap as I figured it would only get harder to pick up the 233 with the dot dial as these have been superseeded by the am/pm marker on the dial which I find too busy. I know I will be able to pick up another DSSD at some time in the future and have to tell you all it was hard letting it go, however I can't see too many new / unworn 233's with the dot dial being around in a couple of years when I will be ready to pull the trigger again. Very happy but also a little sad at the same time!

As a DSSD owner I would do the same as well. There is something special about 233.

Seems like a good trade value wise. Love the 233, but I know it was hard to let the DSSD go....

For an unworn 233K? That's a great deal on your end.

Sounds like you are happy about the trade and got what you really wanted and that always feels good.....and as you said at a later date you can always repurchase a DSSD!!!

It was an unworn watch and a great deal BUT! I did have to add a little cash to make it work.
As always the pain of parting with the cash will be soon forgotten. Have a great week all.
