116618ln vs 116618ln gold sub fit?
116618ln vs 126618ln***
Whats your opinion on the fit for each? Some say the older 116 fits better on the wrist however in photos the newer 126618 looks awesome. Considerable savings in the grey market for the 116 which I have heard fits better with the slimmer bracelet and clasp. Personally have only tried on the 126LN. What’s your opinion? |

I actually find the majority think the 12 series subs fits and looks better. The only complaint is the longer clasp. Which can affect wearability, yes. For me, 12 series fits slightly better, not a huge difference though. Still if price was about the same I'd go 12 for the longer PR and slightly better case dimensions.

Better movement in the 11 if that matters to you.

I was always a hard-core fan of the fatboy (11) sub. But wearing as of january this year the 12 it has changed my opinion.
Both great choices👍✔️

I have the 126618 and the fit is great plus the proportions are better IMO

I find the old bracelet clasp set up to be more “manageable”. I wouldn’t say the new one is uncomfortable just larger wearing. |

I prefer the proportions of the 12 series.
