Artschool,

It looks great! What is your wrist size? Can you measure the thickness of your new Sea Dweller?

Is there a difference in height between the 114060 and 116600?

EDIT: Thanks for the picture of the height, posted my question too soon...

Interesting. Looks like the lug to lug distance is shorter compared to the Sub.

Looks superb great watch - Rolex put a dome on it and ill buy one.
