This was true on 1165 models but now on the 1265 they all share the same case across different metals so they wear the same

No they are all too small at 38.5 but in PM they weigh and feel more substantial and that makes up for the diameter.

38.5 measurement at the bezel means nothing when the watch is overall wider due to it’s larger lugs

Maybe lugs are a touch larger but its not like the maxi/super case which really transforms the size, its still small for "40mm".

Neil, the new SS are larger at a smidge under 40mm, the same as (now) all the PMs.
