Please measure the thickness of your watch and post results and if not too much trouble, a pic of the measurement as indicated on your digital caliper.

You can put scotch tape on the caliper and zero it with the tape if you are worried about a scratch.

Thanks

A quick Google search will tell you

Yes, thickness, case back to surface of crystal.

Thanks

Isn't it 14.7 mm

slillestrand · 28 August 2016, 09:59 AM

Here you go.

I would like to see the same digital measurements for the sea dweller as I have heard that from lug to lug it is shorter, but thicker from top to bottom.

I set the caliper to zero after adding the tape so this is about as accurate as were are going to get. I took multiple measurements to verify these findings.

There is glare on the last photo from lug to lug... but it is 47.96

So, who is going to pay it forward on the Sea Dweller for us?

Regards,
Scott

That is perfect, thank you very much.

Happy to help.

What is it you are trying to figure out exactly?

I had a SubC and traded up for a SD4K, I never measured my SubC and now I wanted to know the exact difference between the two measurements. My digital caliper needs a battery also, I think these things drain batteries even if they are off, so tomorrow I will post measurements and pics of the SD4K.

That is exactly what I am looking for. I too am debating between the two!

I have my name on the list for a white daytona C and figured I'd have either the sub c or the sdk 4000 in black to go with it.

I look forward to the post.

That is a Subdate........C.

Just for clarification:

The measure of thickness was from the back of the watch to the flat crystal.... the cyclops for the date window was not included.

The 1,000,000 question... which do you prefer after owning both.

The sub date or the sdk4000 ?

Good to know, thanks for sharing!

R Douglas · 28 August 2016, 11:23 PM

Crystal height is 1mm

R Douglas · 28 August 2016, 11:28 PM

SubC

Thickness - 12.62mm
Width w/crown - 44.20mm
Lug length - 47.96

SD4k

Thickness 15.15mm (crystal is 1mm of that measurement)
Width w/crown 44.09mm
Lug length - 46.23mm
Weight 173.5g with all links

They both have pro's and con's, overall the SD4K gets to almost perfect, I do notice the small height and weight difference with the SD4K, but not a deal killer, in a perfect world, the SD4K would need to be no more than 13mm thick, and I think I like the Gloss dial a little better, but once again, very minor concerns.

kilyung · 29 August 2016, 02:47 AM

Caveat... There may be a slight height variance between watches of the same model as the crystal is press fitted and may be pressed in at different depths.

Very informative, thanks for posting this!

True, but those differences would be so minuscule it wouldn't make any difference.

Great post! Appreciate the information as I'm also deciding between a Sub and a SeaDweller. Leaning heavily toward the SeaDweller.
