I was at an AD in Atlanta today and was looking at a SD.

Is the dial slightly smaller than a sub????

roadcarver · 1 October 2007, 11:09 AM

Yep, the dia of the dial/face is smaller on the SD.

chris_nor_cal · 1 October 2007, 11:09 AM

yes, 1mm

daunwaun · 1 October 2007, 11:10 AM

no its the same dial except no cyclops and has a valve

daunwaun · 1 October 2007, 11:10 AM

my apoligies its 1mm smaller

Letsgodiving · 1 October 2007, 11:12 AM

It definitely looks smaller when you have them side by side. I have seen where some say it is 1mm smaller but I remember seeing a thread where someone measured them with some sort of calipers and they were the same size.

Atomant · 1 October 2007, 11:31 AM

You're both wrong! It's only 0.5mm smaller.

roadcarver · 1 October 2007, 11:31 AM

I had met up with a guy locally, compared our watches side by side and the sub definitely looks larger.

Here are some dimensions right from our very own Nick Hacko:

There is a chart out there that someone will likely produce that shows a difference of .65mm. I just did a search for the thread that I mentioned ealier but couldn't find it. It may have been from Nick Hacko but unfortunately he deleted all his old posts.

Robb · 1 October 2007, 11:36 AM

Thanks for the info guys!!! I thought it looks smaller.

roadcarver · 1 October 2007, 11:37 AM

Size don't matter, its how you use it

It's (partly) an illusion. The case is thicker, giving it a "smaller in width" appearance.

JJ Irani · 1 October 2007, 04:31 PM

The SD dial is definitely smaller than that of the Sub-date.

The outer case size, however, is the same at 40 mm. Here ya go, this chart should clarify matters!! Check #2

Tombstone · 1 October 2007, 05:30 PM

I like them both, so I bought both

Seadweller · 1 October 2007, 05:38 PM

It may be smaller but it's better looking.
