Incoming.... My 233

Hi guys.

This should come as no surprise....

I did pick up my 233 last week just before the start of my holidays. I just didn't find time to post the photos. I am really enjoying this watch. Now look forward to adding a few more straps.











thanks for looking.

Congrats! I was just wondering if your last 233 was a dot or am/pm?
I personally set out to buy a dot at first, but then the am/pm grew on me and I found that it wasn't as busy as I first thought. Welcome back.
ENJOY!

You really want to know....

My very first was the dot (pre loved) that I owned for a few days. I traded it for an ampm a few days later because I was a bit nervous of the problem regards to the stuck fang. I will say that I love the simple look of the DOT.
