Thinking of adding a 47 mm SUB to my collection but am concerned that these are too bulky for me. I previously had owned a PAM 186 but sold it shortly after due to the watch not sitting on my wrist too comfortably because it is rather bulky (that was also before I discovered aftermarket straps). For reference the IWC BP is too big for me but the PAM 127 fits nicely.
Will I have the same problem with the 47 mm watches, the ones which attract me currently is the 193, 187, 202 (pending price), or maybe I would also consider trying a 92 again.
The Arktos is a very nice watch, not a Sub, although...
But it looks great on the wrist, and much more comfortable than the 47 Subs you quoted.
The size, but also the agressive bezel for the sleeves ...make these 47 subs a bit difficult to wear, unless you wait a bit, and test the new Sub 1950 47mm released in µGeneva this year ( Pam 305 if I'm correct ).
in the 47mm sub club current options are 187 194 202 225 and 193 307
if u are a low profile person, i will suggest 202 otherwise 187 for its high profile bezel and heavy weight
i believe 193 307 and 194 are thicker than others due to their special functions, and this may leads to an uncomfortable feeling you have mentioned while owning your 186
