Sea Dweller (16600) vs. DJ Pictures?

Can you guys post some pics comparing a DATEJUST vs. SEA DWELLER 16600?

I have a DJ and want to have an idea of size difference as an SD is tempting me.

Thanks!

Here's a picture of my SD next to my wife's Datejust. Really not a very clear difference in size when there next to each other. I would recommend going for the SD.

Thanks!

FWIW I own two SS datejusts and a sd. I love all three. While I wear whatever I feel like on a daily basis, I typically find myself wearing the DJs to work during the week, and my sd on weekends. Just feels right to me.

Looks like the bezel on the SD is what adds the size difference. Otherwise, the dials appear to be about the same size???

The Sea-Dweller's case is indeed larger but it is hard to appreciate when you see them side by side. The SD is also thicker and heavier as well.

These are the measurements of the SD:
Case 39.5 (mm) Sold as a 40mm case
Thickness 14.8 (mm)
Bezel Diameter39.5 (mm)
Crystal 29.5 (mm)
Bracelet width at ends 20 (mm)
Clasp width 17 (mm)

Measurements of the Datejust Ref. 16200:
Case 35 (mm) Sold as a 36mm case
Thickness 11.7 (mm)
Bezel Diameter 34.5 (mm)
Crystal 30.5 (mm)
Bracelet width at ends 20 (mm)
Clasp width 16.8 (mm)

Hope this helps clarify the difference in size.

Don't have the weight information but I would say the SD should be at least 15-25grs heavier.
