Sub-C is the new SD 16600

I have had my Sub-C for almost a week and have noticed that it wears a lot like a SD 16600. I believe the weight of the new Sub-C is similar to the 16600. However the sub-c is not as thick as the 16600, but thicker than the old 16610. I am really enjoying the sub-c, what a great watch.

The other way around-ish: the 16600 should have been updated with maxi hands and hour plots, perhaps the new bracelet system and we would all have been happy! :-)

Sorry, but I fail to see how larger hands and dial plots would improve the 16600. If you couldn't clearly see the original ones, you probably shouldn't be leaving the house unaccompanied.

You obviously don't either dive in murky waters and/or have compared the lume brightness and longevity of Deepsea next to the SD 16600.

I've got 20/20 vision, but more is sometimes better.

In that situation, I'm using a dive computer, plus a lamp. More light is better.

I thought the DSSD was the new SD.

In all seriousness, the SubC does have the same weight presence as the SD but I like the feel of the SD better because it sits higher on the wrist.
