Anyone have pic of blue Sub 16613 vs latest version?

Hi, thinking of trading my 2-tone blue 16613 for a new version with the thicker case. I was hopeful to see a side by side pic of the 2 cases for comparison. That new Sub is the same case thickness as the GMT BLNR, correct? Thanks all

These are not side by side, but here is a pic of my old 16613 & my 116613...





Once I tried on the 6 digit, I was in love with everything except the dial (the flat blue.) After they came out with the sunburst blue dial, I had to get one!

I love the 6 digit 13LB! It makes my old love feel like a toy!

Happy Hunting!

Thank you, so the new watch feels much more substantial with the thicker case, right?

I've got a number of Rolexs, my daily driver is a Deep Sea Dweller blue/black so I've grown accustomed to the larger profile. I wore my 2-tone 16613 to a wedding last weekend and it seemed tiny in comparison. I'm used to a GMT BLNR which I believe is the same case thickness so it appears the new Sub is a go...

thank you

My deepsea is on my daily rotation as well....ever since I went the big route I can not go back to the subs......just sits and collects dust...
