Observations Sub 16610LN vs Explorer II 16570

[kopykopy]

Hi. I have been owning several 6 digit Rolexes but several months ago I got myself an Explorer II 16570. I love the 5 digit so much that I recently acquired the Sub 16610LN. Observations between the 2 watches are as follows.

The Sub has a thicker caseback and thus, sits taller on the wrist.

The Sub has a thicker and longer clasp.

The Sub bracelet sides are brushed whereas the Explorer 2 bracelet sides are polished, IMO making the Explorer 2 a little dressier than the Sub.

Enjoy your new additions!

On the 3rd point in my original post. The side profiles of the outer links of the Sub bracelet are brushed. But the side profiles of the outer links of the Explorer II are polished.

Is this normal? or is something wrong? Thanks

The sides of my Sub links are brushed as well!
