Im debating between 16600/16800/5513 as my next watch. id love to get a SD bc I love the classic look and uniqueness of it, but im worried about it sitting too high on my wrist and looking like one of those ridiculous Breitlings that people wear. anyone have wrist shots showing the profile of the watches? i have a 16750 GMT for reference. will i notice the difference between the SD and GMT?

A pic is great, but I would highly recommend you try it on.

Here's a link to some comparison shots I did a while back, on another forum. A RED 1680 and a 16600 I have, side by side. Hope this helps. Love the SD, no probs with wear-ability. I'm sporting the RED 1680 today! No probs wearing that one either...

No pics but I rotate a 16610 and 16600. Have to think about the difference to notice it, otherwise they really wear the same imho.

When going from the SD to the Sub I do notice the crown touching the top of my hand more for the first few minutes.

I believe the height of the SD is close to 14.5mm and Sub being 13mm. IMO it's the weight that you'll really notice, with the SD being 147g and Sub at 135g.

So basically it will sit 1.5mm higher on your wrist. Hardly noticeable IMO.
