PAM 683 and/or 973 Owners

[scottwmitch]

Good morning. I just tried on the 973 submersible (with the steel bezel) yesterday and I was blown away. The AD was able to show me the 47mm version with the ceramic bezel so I could see them side by side. I honestly am torn. I like the look of both versions but I do like the durability upside of the ceramic bezel. Can current owners of either model chime in on their opinions? Much appreciated!

Also, what kinds of AD discounts should I be pursuing on these models?

I have the 683 and absolutely love it. It’s the first Pam I’ve bought. I’d challenge the durability of the ceramic bezel as have picked up a scratch beside the 6 hour marker.

I just ordered the 683 (should arrive in 2-3 weeks). I'm really excited. Sorry to hear about the scratch on the bezel....shouldn't happen!

Having amassed 10 weak posts I can upload images here’s the six hour scratch. Any thoughts on how I’d fix or is it a straight bezel replacement or accept the misfortune?
