2mm vs 16mm
Thinnest is a quartz skagen (none of my mechanicals are thin). Thickest is my Bulova Mil-Ships
Thinnest would be a late 60s Timex Wafer Thin and my thickest a mid 60s Squale Master 1000 meter dive watch with a thick ass dome crystal on top of an already beefy case.
My Panerai vs (not my) AP. And the AP has so many more complications.
Thickest would be my manual wind Panerai at 15mm. Thinnest would be my Cartier Santos Dumont L at 7.3mm… but it’s Quartz.
My MontBlanc heritage salmon comes in at 11.6mm as my thinnest Mechanical.
Which manual wind PAM is it? I've got a manual wind Cali dial Radiomir (PAM 424) which is at 16mm. The salmon dial Montblanc is sweet!
Thinnest is Nomos Tetra Azure at 6.5mm.
Thickest is my Escapement Time Flieger B, of which I forgot the measurements of and it's not currently nearby.
NOMOS Metro Datum Gangreserve (7.7mm) & IWC Big Pilot 43 (13.6mm)
Thinnest vintage 1960’s Universal Geneve for Cartier
