TNM - The new measure (wAtch)...
Thought I would start a new more specific thread. surrounding the web page title and SWF animation clues..
The other one was on 8 pages.. Quote:
Clearly see it's a picture from 6 o'clock with crown on right and lume dot at 12 o'clock, hold your Sub in front and it looks the same. working on this principle. you can extrapolate the size of the case. I will when I get time measure my winding crown diameter, use this as a calibration point of scale compared to the pic. Which should easily determine the diameter of the case unless someone beats me to it.. which would be good.. My guess is black sub with black ceramic dial / cyclops.. |

That sounds like a good idea, but the left side of the image looks cropped?? Or maybe its just the way the silhouette looks.
Maybe you can extrapolate from the other parts of the watch, too, to make it every more accurate! Black sub w/ceramic bezel and cyclops sounds very probable. Hopefully, thats not a SD :) SNB |

actual sub 16610
Winding crown on = 6.5mm Case diameter = 40mm lume dot = 2mm most straight on Serated edge = 1mm newly pictured on my laptop screen Winding crown on = 34mm lume dot = 10mm case diameter = 190mm most straight on Serated edge = 6mm so if the winding crown is the same size 34 / 6.5 = 5.2308 the pic is 5.2308 bigger than real life 190mm / 5.2308 which indicates a size of 36 mm..??? I double checked using the lume dot = 10 mm / 2 = 5 (looks o.k) I've done something wrong, or the crown size has changed, or it's a mini-sub ? be good if someone could chime in with the dimensions of their GMT II / SD matt |

Shadows, maybe? Distortion in the photo?
There are many variables that can screw up this calculation. It will be difficult picking up 36 vs 40 vs 42 mm. Good try though! SNB |

OK, looking at your calculations, you did take into account the fact that the lume dot is further away from you in the photo, right??? And the winding crown is closer than the lume dot? And the serrations on the bezel are grossly over-magnified as compared to the crown and lume dot?
Easy error? Or am I missing something? SNB |

All good points.. Just need someone who is good at maths on this forum to throw their 2 cents in... And some more crown measurements of other watches |

I repeated your exercise, measuring the original photo and my 16610. If the crown in the picture is the same size, the bezel figures to be approximately 36mm.
However, if the winding crown were slightly larger, then the bezel would also be larger. |
