690 vs 932

Anyone have a side by side picture of a 690 and a 932?

I understand the differences, but would love to see them in the same shot. Or at least hear from someone who has handled them both.

Thanks!

I've owned both. For me the 690 is better. The blue dial is nicer and the words in top and bottom half of dial make it more balanced, whereas with the 932 you have quite an expanse of dark/graduated blue/black, which makes it feel a bit larger on the wrist.

I sold the 932 to find a 670. The 690 has the same dial colour as the 670.

Prefer the balanced dial of the 690, but would take either!

The PAM690 is the more desirable of the two. It came first and thus feels more original and has a more vintage feel to it. The dials are slightly different. I actually prefer the text of the PAM932 at the top better, but that's just me.
