Cool! Where would the 16750 fit in the stack?

It's difficult to tell from the pics but it looks like the Milgauss is giving the SD a run for its money. Say it ain't so!

LoL. Awesome Mike.
Funny, the 1675 and 16750 are still monsters even compared to the "supercase".

Notice how the crystals are installed less and less "prouder", for lack of a better word, as time goes on. The new GMTIIc crystal sits nearly flush with the bezel. One thing I wish they didnt do.

Actually, I like the way the GMT IIc crystal sits, mainly because the watch fits under my cuff. With the supercase already "super" as it is, if the GMT's crystal is set like the SD, It would be a tight fit for me under the cuff. Of course, the "thinner" case back also helps. Either way, I am still thinking of getting the SD.

So is the Milgauss the thickest case Mike. I'm surprised it is even thicker than the Sea-Dweller.
One thing is for sure the Milgauss isn't thicker than the Tudor "Big Block" 79180 The "Big Block" is stamped on the caseback that it is an oyster case manufactured by Rolex. Here is a thickness comparison of the Tudor Chronograph (with Rolex case) and a 1665 Sea-Dweller. |
