PAM 243 vs 569 - which sub to get??

[gmwalker]

Thinking of adding a sub to my collection -- I always wanted a 025, but it seems that there is not a good rep of this one, unfortunately.

243 is universally thought to be a super rep, and looks great, but I don't like the look of the very thick bezel and small dial - much prefer the look of 025.

569 is destro, which is too bad, but dial and general look are very close to 025.

I'm not sure about how 569 wears, though - 44mm Luminor case fits me very well, but 47 is sometimes very large. What about weight differences?

Any suggestions or pictures? (Of course, the answer is "get both!", but only want one for now).

If you like 243, then Go for 571 47mm Ti

Well that's up to your personal taste. Both watches are nice. I like 243 and would preferred over 569 just because I dont like destro.

569 is nice, but the destro takes some getting used to. Couple photos of my old one. I have a 7.5" wrist, so not sure what size wrist you have and if the watch will sit oddly for you. I moved this one on as it just didn't get much wrist time.





The 243 new T dial setup is a nice one. I would say go for the 44mm and that is a nice choice if you are on the fence of the 47mm being large for wear.

569 is an amazing rep but so is 243. 243 wear very thick compared to the 569 being a bit more balanced.

But 243 is more rugged and feels smaller than 44MM. It can be a strap junkie with leather natos, natos and other strap types. I would personally go with 243. But know that it's not only thicker but also heavier due to steel finish unlike 569 in titanium.

Another alternative to 243; Bigger brother which is 571 in 47MM and titanium which is more lightweight ad balanced compared to 243.

If your wrist can handle it, 569 has more charm:

569 for me!

243 and 569 are both stunners and either will be a winner - The 243 has more gen feel because of the weight but the Ti 569 does of course match the gen in weight feel but somehow, psychologically the sheer heft of the 243 makes it feel more gen to anyone who asks to "take a closer look"

571 if you have wrist 7''+
