Ok, so I was wondering ... what do these bad boys (three references of Sea-Dwellers) weigh?

SD 16600 M serial solid end links with all removable links removed (wife-sized). I figure if all links were included, it would weigh about 15g more

SD 126600 (SD43 or 50th Anniversary) without dive link, which weighs 7g if added for a total weight of 195g.

Finally SDDS DB 126660 with entire bracelet.

All together over half a kilo

Other comparo pics (notice SDDS only one with polished helium escape valve)

Sorry - SDDS time was not set, which I should have done. Oops

Great post.

Good observation on the polished HEV.

I have the 116600 (aka SD4K, last real Sea Dweller). Best watch i have ever owned period. Would have loved to see it in your comparisons.

I’ve fallen in love with the 126600

thesharkfactor · 16 December 2018, 04:52 AM

Thanks for this thread! Any chance you can also add some wrist shots so I/we can see how they sit on the wrist?
I'm thinking about a 16600 or a 16610 next but afraid the 16600 may not suit my wrist size.

ltmgeller · 16 December 2018, 04:54 AM

Very nice!

Ditto. Of the three, the 50th Anniversary is just soooo right!

Yup another one for team SD43 here! It’s become my daily. Love how it beautifully flows from a suit to jeans and a vneck after work.

This would be really useful - some wrist shots at same angle, distance, lighting etc.

Many thanks,
