Mother and daughter(16600+116660)
I enjoy having this SD to compare to the SDDS. (Although some have already done here, and especially better than me)
Side by side, I laugh, thinking back to all these comments I have read on the forums for all these years, "the SD is too big" "SD is unbalanced" "this is the version of bodybuilded Submariner "" This is the submariner in the extreme " In short, I will not comment Come on, up to photos</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Well, the 16600 has lived (it apparently swam a lot in the Gulf of Ajaccio) but its case is always thick, finally, is when even a small player face to his "mother" </p><p> The HEV is in titanium on the SD, in 904L steel on the SDDS Here, no steel ring doped with nitrogen to face the 3900m, we will stop at 1220m :) The dial is t <25 with indexes still white, but the pearl begins yellow, the insert has blue reflections I had a hard time to photograph ;( Glass has taken a few blows over the years, but no trace of oxidation on the flange or elsewhere. On my shelves, N3XXXXXX corresponds to late 1991-early 1992, but the punched papers are dated 1996. I have a thought for the AD that no longer exists :( 93160, pierced horns, extendable "small" everything is to dive again and again, although I think it will suffer a little "toilet" I think a complete revision, change glass, the insert and polishing, and you? |
