Here's a pic of the two next to each other... I thought the AP Diver was quite big and substantial, but I guess the 305 is much bigger lol.

I tried on a 47mm 187 submersible and I thought it would be huge but due to the thick bezel it actually wore more like a 45mm so very similar to the AP Diver wearing at 44mm.

Shockingly 47mm is not that big (or I've inured myself to the size). Really no different than acclimating to a ROO 42mm or 44mm.

The submersible 47mm don't look and wear as big as the 47mm luminor for some reason having owned both.

Models like the 127, 368 or 372 look huge next to my 44mm ROO Schumacher.

Probably due to the larger dials.

Intrigued! Pics please...?

I have worn 47mm PAMs off and on for years and found them ok. Now have 44mm ROO and it seems to be huge to me! Can't figure out if it's my tastes that have changed or some visual trick....

Thanks!!
