I wanted to buy Deep Sea but ended up with Sea Dweller 116600. I'm very pleased to pick it. I wish it could have beefier lugs as Submariner does.
Besides, I insist on saying that Deep Sea should have wider bracelet to match the size

This is like submariner/sea Dweller pornography.

Maybe they give birth at Basel to a 42mm red line sea dweller.

the sd4k also has slimmer crown guards..

combined with the slimmer lugs and raised crystal, it feels like a classic sub pre-ceramic wearing them. love mine.

Old post but since I just purchased a sub, and a Sd4k and I see a DSSD James Cameron in my near future, I think very appropriate....

I think the raised glass profile is interesting too, very pronounced on SD4K while DSSD is domed. Is the raised glass a Sea-Dweller signature?

Not to sound like noob or anything but is the sub the thinnest one on the right and the gmt II the one in the middle? The reason I ask is that I'm interested in a sub and gmt II but unsure how tall or high they will sit on the wrist so would appreciate any feedback, thanks in advance

And that the lugs re in face thinner...

And of course an emoji that doesn't get used that often... :

There is no GMT in these pictures. Original post shows Deep sea, SD4K and then the Sub. The GMT case and Sub case should be the same height, but GMT has a thinner case back so it sits even flatter on the wrist than the sub. Some will say they wear the same but personally, I find the fit of the gmt to be much more comfortable than the sub due to the thinner case back.

It's nice to see the thread again. For some reason my SD4K feels more comfortable than my SubC ever did.

The lugs are one factor in comfort. The back of the case is another. The deep blue has a shallow back compared to SD 43 or maybe even the SD4000. At least it wears that way. New bracelet Also helps balance out the watch with weight but more so, perspective.
