Can someone post a side by side photo of a 1680 and 16710?

I know it's an odd request, but I was hoping someone could post a side by side photo of the two watches.

Thanks, beautiful watches.. I really appreciate it!! I have a 16710, but am very interested and have been searching online for a red 1680. The 1680 just seems like a "meatier" watch compared to the 16710 (thicker case, smaller dial, bigger bezel/crown). Not sure if this is statistically correct, but to my eye it sure seems like it.

I believe your description sums it up nicely...
