M5Man Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 I have a seller that has a Tropic 39, however he is unsure if it is a SD or non SD. What are the specific differences in the two? I know the SD is thicker - can anyone give me specifics between the two however? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewightstuff Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 (edited) edited to say, pipped by the power of the photo lol the short answer is the the superdome has a large curvature across the top when viewed in profile, tending towards a section of a ball, the regular is flat though does have a slight curve across the top. the difference is very pronounced when you see them. what price are you being offered it at. that would probably identify which one right away. a gen superdome is hard to get having been discontinued some time ago while the regular tropic 39 is readily available and what rolex use at the moment. one point of note, i assume its for a rep. if so make sure you have the much thicker SD bezel before fitting this. if not the larger crystal is going to stick up so far it will look ridiculous IMHO. youd be much better served getting a replacement tropic 19 from the sub to fit. generic ones can be had for $10 or less and when used with the sub proportioned bezel used on many reps looks much more correct together.
