no worries, I am not a person who should be trusted with ANY watch, I have already destroyed a submariner! this will probably be reference to anyone who wants to find how to do this; I have found multiple threads on different forums regarding this caseback exchange. 

JKay: This is my beater watch, I use it for sports, swimming, scuba diving, etc etc. I brushed it because there was a deep chip on the side with the helium valve due to a rock while scuba diving, and now it's gone!

For your information, It lost 3mm! it's now 14.xmm according to my caliper.

and come on, don't insult my 'customisation', I would have sanded the caseback down to produce a horrendous monstrosity if I hadn't found this method 

Update:

I figured it out! let the pictures speak for themselves, i guess

I have ordered a SS case by Parnis to replace it, so I don't have to sacrifice my Pam 292.

The caseback is of a 45mm Panerai Radiomir case.

I am considering just purchasing a classic SD, or the explorer II, but the problem here is that I don't have enough cash to warrant getting another watch. Thanks, it seems like it's very difficult to mod, and not really worth the trouble. Thanks all!

Thanks for the reply Ticktick! I am actually using a nato strap, which is why i'm interested in reducing the thickness. I haven't opened up the caseback of the dssd yet, do you know any casebacks that would fit it? and what's the diameter of the inner caseback?

Hi all,

I am looking to replace the caseback of my DSSD, as I feel the watch is too thick in general. I prefer the classic SD. Is there a way of replacing the thick caseback with something thinner? I have some submariner casebacks lying around, if that helps.

Thanks,

G
