I really really like the 231.
Would have to move one of my pieces to get it though.
I only have 6 spots in my watch box, and one goes on my wrist, so 8 will just not work for me.

Yes the 26 is relatively new. I have really slowed down. The only one I have not obtained that I want is 292 but thats ok if it never comes.

Your wrist will do just fine in a 231.
