elisiX Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) Hi Guys... well yesterday I got back from the states (damn 14 hours flight) and had the day at home to myself (mrs stupidly went to work.. pfft). So I had one more day of free time and decided to take a couple new 233K pictures on my Ted Su Gator. Incredible strap as i've said so many times and suits the 233K very well I think. The dial is quite difficult to capture due to the domed crystal but IRL, it does not reflect anywhere as near like it seems in pictures. Anyway, hope you like. One of these day's ill get myself a light box. Edited April 14, 2009 by elisiX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 I feel like I am doing the same thing you did. I have a 111k now and am thinking of selling it to fund the 233! Great pics of a great watch! Wear it Well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Congrats on a beautiful watch. I am jealous too. Strap looks really good. I actually took the 233 tunnel strap and threw it on my 03. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectologist Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Nice to see your 233 again... as impressive as it was outside of the BH Boutique! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elisiX Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the comments guys. It really is a lovely watch. I just realized that I didn't post on here (as I did on RG) the day I picked up the watch. Below is the initial post I made. Hi Fellas.. Will post up a proper bunch of pictures once im home but I just wanted to throw up a couple quick shots I took this afternoon. Day 3 of my USA trip saw the 233K handle itself very nicely at Universal Studios and last night at dinner in LA. Speaking of yesterday, it was my birthday, and what better present than to pick up my 233K from the Beverly Hills Panerai Boutique. I also had the great opportunity to meet projectologist - a really nice guy with a fantastic VDB creation on his wrist. Really stunning in person with that Angelus movement. Pictures do not show the true beauty of this watch. Now while these pictures show the watch to be mint, its not. There are a bunch of hairlines all over the polished bezel which should easily come out with a service/cape codding. There are 2 very small 'dents/dings' in the 12 o'clock position of the polished bezel and another very small ding on the case back. There are also a couple small marks on one of the lugs (topside and not from changing straps). Unfortunately the guy I bought this from wore cuff links with his shirts and was a little careless but worst case scenario, it needs a new bezel and light refinishing on the lug. Best case scenario, it will need a polish/cape codding on the bezel and refinishing of the brushed lug. For the price I paid ($8600 USD - approximately $2k under market), it was well worth it for a 4 month old K series 233. Oh and I mentioned it was my birthday while at the boutique (purely for the exchange), and I was handed a (what I believe) hard to find blue rope keychain and white linen shirt. While the shirt may not really see the light of day, the keychain was an incredible gesture and it truly is also fantastic in person. Very impressive. Its actually much bigger than I imagined it to be from the pictures i'd seen online and Paneristi. Ill let the pictures speak for themselves.
