I believe the case is thicker on the 16710 which is why different end links are needed between the models.

16710 crystal width is a tick longer in diameter too - close to 1mm I think with a skinnier bezel / insert

The crystal on the 16710 is sapphire as opposed to acrylic on the 16750. Might that have an affect on case thickness?
