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.

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