Evolution of the Sub Date 1680 vs 16610 vs 116610

OK, ok… so I don’t own a 1680 (yet) , so I used my Tudor 76100 instead. From what I understand they share many parts, except for the dial and movement of course.


Enjoy

The pearl……








The bezel & crystal…….







The lugs….

Nice shots, when you look at it that way, not much has really changed! Although, I still wish the lugs on the 116610 were not so wide.

I agree, there hasn't been THAT much change and all 3 look great. Some people on here make it sound like the new Sub has just turned away from its roots and is an unrecognizable shadow of its former self. I don't get it.

Call me a traditionalist, but I really like the flatter profile of the plexi era.
