Thanks for the great comp pix!
I really like the maxi dial/hands more than anything. In a perfect world, this is the update I would have liked to see in the Sea-Dweller as well. |

Great shots, Tim! Does this mean you've added a 116610 to your stable???

Nice comparison shots. Although, even with the improvements on the new Sub, I still like the lines of the 16610.

Hey Tim,
great shots, nice side by side comparison. I still like the old Subs, but look how much more presence the new one has with the maxi dial and the bulky case! Tom |

Great post! Can you help us with one additional item and see how the bracelet from the Sub-C fits on the 16610? Thanks!

Great pics comparing the 2 Subs Tim. Though the only thing I like about the new one is the bracelet, I wonder if it would fit the old one?

Great shots. Nice visual display for comparison. Would like to see how the new braclet fits the old as well - if it even will.

I much prefer the case and clasp on the older model. The new model looks blocky and out of proportion to the bracelet. Thanks for the great comparison shots.
