Case shape difference between 16800 and 16610?
Hello all. I was wondering if there are any difference in case shape/feature between the 16800 transitional and 16610 regular. I know that 16800 is made of 316L while 168000/16610 is made of 904L. By any chance, does anyone have any pictures of both side by side? From my observation, the 16800 looks a little thinner throughout the case compared to the 16610.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. |

They should be the same.. The only real difference is the movement.. the 16800 has a 3035 and the 16610 introduced the 3135 movement.
The 168000 bridged the gap because the 3135 was not ready; so the 904 steel cases were stamped to show that they were "different", then, when the new movements were ready, they stamped 16610
