Case Thickness: 16610 vs 116610

[sportsmaven20]

After a search on this board, I cannot locate what I'm looking for and need help from my friends here on TRF.

Can anyone please provide specific "mm" case thickness dimensions (including caseback) comparing the old (16610) vs the new (116610) Rolex Sub?

I'm aware the overall case is larger on the 116610, along with the maxi dial and lugs, but I'm more interested in the case thickness of the two.

Thanks in advance!

They use the same case-back..

There are a number of comparisons and measurements around... Probably We've got something in the Reference Library...

Don't know.. I know that I've measured and posted all three Sub Date measurements to include the 1680... Wish I could find it...

116610 - Watch thickness - 12.8 mm
16610 - Watch thinkness - 12.73 mm


This is what I have just looked up, copied and pasted from another source. I maybe wrong!

Here they are again uing my old notes and actual measurements..

But you'll have to convert... My tools are in US measurements..


..............Sub Date....... Sub Ceramic........... 1680

Thickness ..... .500" .............. .500" .................. .546"
Bezel Diameter..1.575" ............ 1.585" ................ 1.574"
Lug Length ... 1.840" ............ 1.990" ................. 1.870"
Case ............. 1.550" ............ 1.585" ................ 1.530"
Crystal ........... 1.175" ............ 1.175" ................ 1.177"

All three use the same hands...

All three use different spring-bars

This really surprises me that the dimensions are so close...they appear much different from some photos of the 2 next to each other.

Some measurements that aren't shown are the mass of the lugs and the mass of the new crown guards on the 116610..

Both of those two items are likely more responsible for it's larger look than the modest increase in measured size..

[erickzcu4975]

and the dial are they interchangeable?

[erickzcu4975]

pls provide diameter for 16610 and 116610

Yes they are basically the same dials except for the maxi type markers its still a 16610 in a slightly change SS box.

Larry - Can you help me with the dimensional comparisons of the new Sub D and ND?

Also - do you have those stats for the Explorer 39mm? Thank you.
