x2 You've possibly just managed to articulate how the SDDS felt to me when I tried it on vs the PAM 1950 cased watches. In addition the aesthetics of the bezel and dial may also have a factor as the simple bezel and face make the 312 appear smaller than its size IMHO, whereas a sports watch such as the SDDS with a contrasting bezel with numbers on it has the effect of accetuating the size.
