Even the click sound is different, the sub sounds much more "massive" when you turn the bezel...

In addition, the whole watch feels so much more solid, I thought they shared the same case (expect the caseback which is a bit thicker of course).

Any thoughts from you guys?

The reason for that is quite simple the Sub is a diving watch, bezel only turns one way.And it must be more substantial and robust.plus easier to set and rotate while wearing gloves etc,while using it what the watch was made for, underwater scuba diving.
