Great response!
FWIW, my 233 dot dial, my third 233 in fact, is my favorite all-round piece. It took me a couple $ loses to realize it. :(
Display back, domed crystal, black/dark dial, GMT function, rubber strap, large but not obscene - it ticks all my "dream watch" criteria. If it lost another $4K or gained $4k, I will not care.

Just like them for what they are, not what they are not. If I had to go with just one right now it would be my 233 Dot. I have a 992 and a 317 that are great but if just starting out and wanting to cover as much ground as possible the 233 is the one. Good luck and keep us posted.
