Ok, let's get this over with. I have to confess that I got this one horribly, horribly wrong. I could've sworn the 233 I was admiring a couple of weeks back had a normal crystal. My guy at OP has just confirmed the 233 still has the domed crystal.

I'm now off to go find a huge towel to wipe the egg off my face.

My apologies guys.

See attached pics of an S Serial 233 (I've edited out the number), which my man has just sent me.

Great news. This will probably be my next PAM, but need to save enough first.

Psmith · 21 March 2017, 06:15 PM

No worries Paul - good to see the dome present & correct

nick c · 21 March 2017, 10:55 PM

I had a good feeling that the Pam 233 still have the dome thanks for clearing that Paul you are amazing

jbsmith · 21 March 2017, 11:24 PM

Thanks! Although I was kind of hoping they got rid of the dome, since I already have one with it. :)

He would have been even more amazing if he had got it right first time

I have had sleepless nights and been in therapy since his announcement.

Good to hear....a 233 without a dome is not a 233

No, it's a simple case of Ruud Van D-head

Please send all your bills for therapy to me and I'll pass them to Ian to process for payment.

jagwap · 23 March 2017, 11:09 PM

Well at least you bring good news. If not for the value of my 233, but it makes me happy.

CYKBC · 24 March 2017, 04:32 AM

A Panerai sans dome is not a Panerai

Drink on me if we ever meet for standing-up here and in the other thread, and saying "my bad."

No blood, no foul.

Wiver72 · 10 April 2018, 10:00 PM

Thanks Paul! I have to head to an AD now.
