Mickey Padge Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 I thought the main problem with the modern SD reps was the thin bezel. Look at this picture I took from ebay: The bezel is much thicker than on ANY replica I have seen. If they corrected this flaw, I would add one to my collection in a flash!

ubiquitous Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Hmmmm... Looks like they're still using the Sub based case; a 16600 SD has a crystal and dial that is almost a full 1mm smaller than a 16610 Sub... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 I have the real Mcoy and yes the crystal is smaller and the bezel is thicker and slightly wider than a Sub with more pronounced knurls around the edge. The case is also thicker and the rehaut is much more shallow than a Sub. THe movement sits high in the case which mkaes the crown sit much higher in the Cg's. A third of the crown sits above the top edge of the crown guard and sits perfectly level at the bottom. One day they may get this right!
