Thoughts on the Submersibles

I've been thinking of adding a 25 to my collection for a piece to complement my 233. Any owners/prior owners have any comments or pics to help sway me?

I have a 25 too... I love the hobnail dial, and the titanium case makes for a great beater watch as it is light and looks great even with wear..

You might want to get a tritium version as it may hold value a little better, but I got the luminova version as it will glow better..

Many will point to other submersibles as a better choice, but it works for me.. What works for you? That is the question!

I don't have a Pam 25 / 233 combo but I do have another 233/submersible combo, just to show that the 233 goes well with any submersible.
Good luck

The 25 is nice and as made of titanium its light but scratches easily, I have the 243 and its well built and wears well!

Don't worry about scratches on titanium. They come out beautifully with a fiberglass pen or scotchbrite pad.

Hey Mike!

Hope all is well there!

I am a fan of the 25 and in particular, the A-C serials where there are no hash marks on the bezel. A cleaner look for me. Still, titanium pams are pretty neat and light to wear. You should go try one on first!

Here she was on a green canvas!

I like all of the Subs, but especially the 47mms.
If you can swing it, I highly recommend it.

Good to know, I didn't realize A-C were without hash marks. Thanks for the feedback all, if I decide to pull the trigger it will definitely be for a tritium model.

Unfortunately the 47mm subs wear a bit too large on my wrist.

All is well, thanks Fred!

Oddly enough I recently picked up a green strap that I thought would look great on a sub after I received it..which led to this thread.
