someone asked me to do a case side comparison

so here we go: repost from another forum

pardon the smudges, scratches and reflections. I would have put the 16613lb back on the bracelet but I quite like it on the bracelet.
the year for each model i can't quite remember since i am writing from another PC...

starting with the oysterquartz

its stubby to make up for the integrated bracelet, smooth bulgy almost alien-y case side is quite sexy. caseback and lifted crystal + fluted bezel makes quite an impression.

16710 circa 2000

note the lug holes. again quite balanced looking.

compared to the 16570 mid 2000s

change in case makes it 'sleeker' to wear, sits superbly on the wrist, but some may say its more blocky looking? i think the sloped bezel works well to balance it out.

here's the 16613lb from early 2000s

case seems longer? the cyclops is such a signature look.

here's a modern reference: 114060

the case that has divided many, discuss away! my thoughts in a bit.

now..this is remarkably well balanced: 16600t 2006

its a real looker, and i am appreciating it more everyday.

both daytonas look very similar

the case seems relatively thick..but then again...its a chronograph


and the newest acquisition: 116622

very obvious difference, longer curving down lugs, slimmer caseback, 'flatter' raised crystal and seemingly chunkier bezel
