I'd be interested in any ideas as to why. Why the different case, thicker caseback, thicker bezel, etc. on the 16610? The only functional difference is the date function; makes no sense from an economy of production standpoint.

I can't believe they had to make a bigger case to fit the 3135. My DJ has a pretty small case.
