New vs original carbotech submersible, which one do you like more and why?

synequano · 3 August 2019, 09:09 AM

I like 616 better as the lume of 1616 is too blue to me..

gsteve · 3 August 2019, 10:21 AM

i much prefer the thinness of the 1 series

Really tough call....the 1616’s blue is pretty cool and modern, which goes well with carbotech, but the numerals of the 616 also are a good thing to have.

Best is to compare the two, especially to see if the thinner case makes a difference (good or bad) for such a submersible and material.

I actually probably would be tempted to go 661 over either.

My choice would be the PAM00616.

Interesting, I didn't know there was a difference in thickness. I'll need to check them out in person to compare.

Yeah, the blue markers do look cool and I'm leaning towards 1616 as I'm not a big fan of fauxtina on 616.

I would take either as both look great and are basically the same watch. It would come down to the deal.

I don’t know if I’ll tire of it. But since I picked up my 1616, it hasn’t really left my wrist. I absolutely love the blue. It wears very easily for a 47mm.

How does carbotech material feel? Is it as sturdy as advertised? Thanks.

just bought the 1616 a few weeks ago, what I can say now is i feel sturdy and smooth when turning the bezel. I take care of my watch so luckily no scratches so far. my AD told me that you can remove scratches by just rubbing it with an eraser!

Tough choice. I lean more towards the 616 because I think it looks good on a brown strap.

the 1616 will also look good on a sky blue strap.

1616 would be my choice although I feel 616 would go well with most straps
