Ronin Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Can anyone else confirm the 1680 case was a bit thicker than the 16610? Not including crystal height. Just raw mid-case... I picked up a genuine 16610 and it looks like it has slimmer sides than my 1680 case. The 1680 feels more substantial than the 16610. Thanks.

alligoat Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 I guess that the lugs are a wee bit thicker on the 1680. Whereas the 16800 and 16610 share some similar parts, particularly the crystal and bezel assembly, the 16800 was a definite departure from the 1680. The 16800 also has a thinner caseback than the 16610 and the two casebacks are not interchangeable. I consider the 16800 and 16610 as definite improvements over the 1680- especially as noted by the improved depth ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted January 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Actually, more of a side profile thing. Was the 1575 a bit thicker than the 31xx movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Actually all three Rolex movements are very similar in size 1575- 28.5mm x 6.3mm 3035- 28.5mm x 6.15mm 3135- 28.5mm x 6.0mm But as you say, the 1680 has a thicker profile when looking at the lugs. And a shallower case back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
