Bracelet difference, Sub / Sea Dweller

What is the difference between the Sub and the Sea Dwellers bracelet?, i have understood that there is some kind of difference.

Is a 1999 Sea Dweller similar to a new one, except for the lugholes?

Regards

DL

Both bracelets are very similar in construction, apart from the smaller half-link on the 6 O' clock side on the Submariner (which help to keep the clasp more centered), and the SEL-pieces are slightly different. They both use the same diving-extension release method, and have the Flip-lock safetyclasp.The Submariner comes on the ref. 93250 Oysterbracelet, the Sea-Dweller comes on the ref. 93160 Oysterbracelet.

The sides of the SD bracelet are polished whereas the Sub is not and I believe the SD links are a little thicker than the subs. Someone will correct me on the latter point if that is not correct.

I also think that the sd links are a bit thicker than the links on the sub

OK, thank you.

How is it with the changes from 1999 to today, is there any
other changes except from the lugholes?
