Pam 292 non pig or 233?

Shade · 6 October 2010, 07:16 PM

233. The 292 is great, but for me, I can't wear day-in day-out because it doesn't fit my outfit.

Nad · 6 October 2010, 09:21 PM

Usually with a question like "This or That?", the person is looking to compliment his collection or buying a 'type' of watch to suit his lifestyle (extreme sports diver, business dressy, travel dual-time, etc......)

So, there's no right or wrong answer here, as I am sure either would serve you very well.

Good luck and keep us posted

Hard to say cause your talking apples and oranges. Both staples and both dead sexy!!! No wrong answer just get what sings the loudest...or get both eventually. :-)

brainbizz · 6 October 2010, 09:45 PM

Own both 292 gets much more wear.

nauticajoe · 6 October 2010, 10:11 PM

That's a tough choice. Both are awesome watches. Depends on your choice of complication - you get more from the 233.

Good Luck!

Before i owned 312 and sold it... Planning to purchase sometime soon.

233 for me

stockae92 · 7 October 2010, 02:38 AM

i would go for 292, love the ceramic case and its virtually scratch prove, simple movement that can be serviced anywhere.

hennabav · 7 October 2010, 08:05 AM

I would have to go with the 233 as well. Although, I'm not a huge fan of the fang meter, I just love the 1950 case with the domed bezel.

dhalem · 7 October 2010, 09:54 AM

So very different. But I think if you're going the pvd/dlc/ceramic route, I like that look more on the Luminor cases.

B. Doggy · 7 October 2010, 10:59 AM

Peep 'em both out and decide.

MrJ320 · 7 October 2010, 02:37 PM

Love both watches but if I have to pick one it would be the 233. But is cost a factor? It seems like the 292 non-pig can be purchased for quite a bit less than even a used 233

292 for me

the 233 is very nice but I prefer the more simple 292

jvo300 · 8 October 2010, 02:02 AM

I'd go 292 myself for the following reasons:

1. Cheaper
2. Black Hotness (I have no ceramic or PVD watches in the stable)
3. Avoid PR issues with 233
4. Rads are more wearable for all occasions IMO

jacksonian · 9 October 2010, 03:23 AM

233 because 1950 case + dome crystal = perfection, can be worn with ANY strap and looks awesome dressed up or dressed down

292 because that ceramic case is so unique and it's blacked out (and cheaper)

If I could only buy one PAM, then it would be the 233. If you have lots of watches and are looking for something unique, then I'd get the 292.

DS_Obsessed · 9 October 2010, 04:03 AM

292 was my first Pam, because I like the design of the rads and the more I checked out pictures online, the more I had to have it. I've banged it pretty hard on door knobs and the like. It still looks brand new. I'm very please with the 292.

The 233.....

a true classic-

bodybump · 9 October 2010, 03:10 PM

Kabayan Jd..if you have the Moolah get the 233!!!

superb · 13 October 2010, 10:49 PM

Is there another model without the 8 day indicator on the front of the dial for the 233? I love the 1950 case + dome crystal combo. Saw someone wore a 217 and i was like wow! Cant get it off my mind.
