Submersible 42 Ceramic Bezel
Hi guys, unfortunately we are still in lockdown in UK and it seems that the non essential shops should reopen only after the 12th April, so I thought that I might find here on the forum answers to the questions I have on the Submersible 42 ceramic bezel PAM 959 e PAM 683 (by the way it seems that also the Limited Edition, online exclusive, PAM 1209 is still available).
I would like to know if the case 1950 42 mm is significantly thinner than the Bettarini case of the PAM 25 (watch that I owned) and if overall the Submersible 42 looks more compact than the PAM 000 (watch that I currently own). |

The Submersible 1950 42mm case is about 2.5mm thinner than the PAM 25. Here are the different care thickness specs I grabbed from the internet: 959 13.3mm 25 15.8mm 000 14.5mm The 959 wears like a dream on my 6.5” wrist, which is more oval shaped.

Many thanks Adam, indeed the measures I have found on the web and you have reported in your reply indicate a significant difference between the PAM 25 and the new Submersible 42 models, but looking only at the photos / videos online (I never hold any of these watches in my hands) I had the impression that the difference in thickness was less than 2.5 mm and I struggled to believe that they were thinner than my PAM 000.
Can you comment about the differences on the wrist between your PAM 959 and any professional Rolex or any Luminor 44? |

So we can say that Submersible 42 is in between Rolex Submariner and Luminor 44.
