I don't think the later 16600's had beveled edges...but nice review.

Fine review, but I don't agree with the dial being darker and the over-all appearance is shinier. The dial is matte and the bezel insert less shiny than earlier ceramic rolexes:
Terrible quality photo, but believe you will see my point? |

Awesome shots of both SDs.
I am starting to like the SdC but already having the Dssd and SubC, not sure if I need another diver which falls inbetween. Thanks for sharing. |

"The new Sea-Dweller also has a "maxi" dial, with larger indices and hands. And it also appears to have a slightly darker dial, though it is difficult to distinguish if it's a change in tone or glossiness. "
Umm...they dial IS indeed satin/matte, no? |

I have to say, for a modern Rolex, it is not badly done.

great article. Too bad I can barely notice the difference, even under such high magnification.

What rubber are you rocking there? Was it one designed for the Sub-C?
