Sea-Dweller visual and weight comparo
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.

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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. |

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