How thick headed are your PAMs?

I tried to get some measurement over on RG before it went down, but only one member stepped up. Let's see how capable RWG members are at using calipers :)

Please measure your 44mm cases (with case back and crystal installed) and post the result here, along with case type (manual/auto), material (ti/SS) and source (DSN/PWC/T4D/Cartel/Sead...).

Here is an example: 13.9mm Manual Titanium from Jackson Tse

Anyone with a genuine PAM, PLEASE post your measurements, as well.

Thanks for your participation.

Just to clarify, I would like your measurement of the case, not the measurement that the original dealer provides.

Please post your specs.

EDIT: I will put measurements from members who contributed to my other thread on RWI, and keep the table below updated as measurements come in.

I've also got an unknown case that I'm using for Pre-V that measures 14.1mm, crystal to caseback. Jimmy on left, my 'Pre-V' case on the right...

Thanks for contributing. That old school DSN is mighty slim.

The JF case's crystal seems to be "riding high", did you measure to the top of the bezel or crystal? If it was to the top of the cystal, that case is ultra-slim :D

Just measured my EL 111 case an crystal, and it's 14.6 - the crystal rises about 1.2mm off the top of the bezel.

For me, I go through alot of trouble to find great crystals. For some reason people dont talk much about it but I feel that is a major difference with the gens being so clear and non diffractive at angles. The height is also a major issue for me. I have seen the dealers changing crystals from time to time and scoop up the ones that are good at angles and height above the bezel. All this AR aside, the new DSN ones are pretty good but I usually take the AR off as it isnt that noticeable on gens and I usually like Prev/A builds.
