SDc vs Subc - Dial/Crystal Size

[HRC-E.B.]

Has anyone actually measured (or obtained official specs for) the respective dial and crystal size for each of the current Sub and the new Sea Dweller Ceramic?

There is a lot of talk about how they look and wear, but I haven't seen any objective data regarding their actual respective dial size.

Anyone?

I suspect they are as they were in the pre ceramic models.

Sd dial a bit smaller / bezel a bit bigger / crystal a bit thicker.

Pictures seem to confirm this.

My question is the thickness of the watch front to back?

But then they did size up the 114060 to the same spec as the 116610 I guess to streamline manufacture so this could see the SD following suit, Obviously the crystal is thicker!

But then apparently with the WG GMT they have taken steps to prevent bezel parts being interchangeable they may have decided to take steps to prevent the SD bezel being used on the sub!?

Due to crystal thickness, it appears SDC will continue to have its own look, bezel insert still appears larger in pics ... I agree it certainly would be sought after by some if it were interchangeable.

Noone?

SD c dial is actually bigger than the submariner ceramic dial.

Is there any way to get the actual official measurements? I've been looking for them and coming up empty-handed :(

[HRC-E.B.]

So I guess the answer is no... Is there another place than here to get that info? I would have thought this would be THE place, but looks like my hopes may have been too high.

Try going to an AD.

The date window on the SDc seems to be a little more towards the centre than on the previous model which, assuming that the actual wheel itself hasn't been altered, suggests that the dial might have expanded a fraction.

If the SDc isn't as the SD was smaller dial, larger bezel I will pass.

SD c dial is actually bigger than the sun C dial
