42mm submersible

[jb3md]

Does anyone know where to find a 42mm pam1389? I haven’t been able to locate through my usual channels...would appreciate any help by reply or PM.

Thanks

I think the 1389 is 47mm? I wish it were 42mm. The latest rep trend of comically big PAMs is frustrating.

The PAM1389, like the original PAM389, is also 47mm (sorry for my earlier response on the same question, I was talking about availability of the watch, not the size). It is slightly thinner because of the different movement. As for the comment on the rep trend of comically big PAMs, you should realize that factories usually only follow the trend in the gen world, as reps imitate gens. The last SIHH put 47mm submersibles front and center, so it's but natural for the factory, specifically VSF, to but replicate the hot models.

But don't despair, the 42mm PAM960 is coming out. Also you can try looking for the PAM682, which is also a 42mm submersible (PAM684 if you're into rose gold), which were released for quite a while already.

This is very true that the gen watches are trending large again. I'm not even that much of a pam sub fan... I really wish the the Noob 111/177 were still in production (and I'm kicking myself for selling mine). Mysterio, I think I read a post from you a few months ago that you had a 177 on hold with a dealer? Did you ever get it?

I think I'll have to grab that PAM960 when it comes out!

No, unfortunately, it wasn't in the cards. A PAM176 might be, currently.
