I can relate, especially if you want to keep your collection relatively small. The 233 is priced quite a bit above the base models, that is one of the reasons I've gone back and forth with it a few times and haven't pulled the trigger.

232 (not 233) has different movement and sold caseback. The profile of the case is even thinner than the 425. I bet there is a google image out there with that comparison. It results in the 232 wearing smaller!

They are both great watches but I really think the 533 looks as good on you as the 232. But if its a personal question of comfort you must go for the one that feels best to you. An uncomfortable watch stays in the watch box.
