The case is too round. Still waiting for the perfect 232

Yes it is. But it gives this watch a specific charcacter imho :)
Anyway I'm wondering as well why no other maker repped it, we had some great 47 mm radiomirs in terms of case shape...

It looks quite large. What is your wrist size [MENTION=57248]Polebear[/MENTION]?

Thank you!

Great review. Thanks a lot!

Would you mind sharing your wrist size? I'm afraid the 232 will wear too large on a 17 cm wrist...

18.5 cm

I have just ordered the 232 from David. He mentioned in his e-mail: "i have made a new upgraded version now, with better case / dial and back". If there will be no obvious flaw in the QCs, i will accept it, but i would like to post here few pics afterwards, as i am especially interested about your opinion guys @kilowattore, @ALE7575 in terms of the case. I think, the case he has today is really a bit roundish and i am curious, if he fixed this. For the rest - i believe, with gen series of 1938 + 40 OOR pcs., there is minimum chance to be called out :)

He mentioned this upgrade a few months back in one of our conversations. I am really interested in it, imho he will use the SF 448 midcase without engravings. Really excited about this :)

Well, i am curious and excited at the same time. This one will accomplish my "two liner @ 12 Panerai handwound collection" - 232 / 372 / 390 [emoji4]

Could you please pm me his contact info, I have his old email from 2008 lol not sure he still uses it.

What are the major drawbacks of his 232 rep if any?

The CP is pointed instead of flat. Lume on dial is weak but being a sandwich a relume should be easy. Same for the CP, I believe
