Difference on the wrist between a Sub & Seadweller

I have been wearing a no date sub for a few years and am considering a triple 6 sea dweller. I know that it is a thicker watch but wondering how noticeable the difference will be on the wrist. Thanks

Depends on the size of your wrist. Mine are thin but I don't notice that much difference between a 5513 and 1665-

Im my honest opinion, and if you’re asking it’s because you haven’t worn a triple 6 (i think), the difference is HUGE, starting with the weight of the piece, i like better the Deepsea, but I’m tall and i have a big wrist.

Heres a picture of a Sub a SD43 and and a Deepsea side by side, and a couple of wrist shot with different sizes worn by me so you can compare.

I hope it helps with your question.

I believe he was referring to vintage Subs/Sea Dwellers. Not the new big blockers.

My no date sub was of mid 90's vintage and the triple 6 sea dweller I am looking at is supposed to be from 1984 (and it is a beauty!)
