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!

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...

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!
