1675 vs 16710 vs 126710 thickness
They all measure around the same thickness but the 1675 always looks thinner and 16710 more in the middle. Is that just perception? Maybe it’s because the case of 1675 is thinner but the extra domed crystal creates the same “reported” thickness even though the case is thinner?

It’s a lugs difference that creates the variability (because, to your point, the total thickness measured is the same for each) What’s the ranking of lug height from low to high? Or are 1675 and 16700 similar and then after that they get bigger? Thanks ag...
