When they first introduced and saw both watches I would say DEFINATELY the 232, didn;t liked the cali at all.
All this until i did my custom Cali dial... I don't know but in photos the cali doesn't seem that nice but in real life it is so beautiful.
Plus it is definately something different than any other 3-6-9-12 Pams.
I would personally now get without any second thought the cali
