The 1665 can be had with Superdome. Super as in Superb, which is exactly what a Great White is - especially when you have a "Double White" as shown below

Does the Red Sub have any parts with the word "super" in it? No, exactly =)

Yes we can !
And there's no need to refer to the cyclop as stupid....this thread is about preference that's all...

Great choice, I remember reading somewhere it was designed with a crab in mind, as seen by the profile view

I had John's (above) Great White on my wrist for an hour last weekend and absolutely loved it. I closely compared it to a nearly NOS 1680 he had as well. The GW has more heft than the sub - but not too much - it just feels right.
