From the AD that a Sub-date has my name on it. I previously had the prior generation that I got for $7300 (a 17% discount unbelievably) but was offered $14000 and couldn’t refuse it. I LOVED the prior generation. Put myself on the list two months ago and got the call. Didn’t think I’d get the call and haven’t researched it much. How is the new one? Looks smaller to me which I don’t like. Maybe it’s an illusion. What say you?

It’s a 41mm and feels bigger than the previous generation. Great looking watch.

Improved proportions and looks much better IMO. Only thing I didn't like was the huge clasp. It spanned the whole back of my wrist and I considered going back to a 116610 which fit much better.

Have two 41mm subs, I prefer 40mm kermit …

While I've never owned the 116610, I've tried it on a ton of times. The 126610 feels like an upgrade to me. The proportions look better in my opinion. The lugs look awkwardly fat on the 116 to my eye now. The bracelet also seems to seamlessly integrate with the case in a way that is very fluid.
I think you'll be very impressed with it!

Is it still a good buy at MSRP? I also have a 2016 GMT I, 2023 Batgirl, and 2020 Two Tone Sky Dweller black dial.

Yes. That’s why I unloaded it. But I regret it. I just hope I will love the new model 41mm the same.

After you've worn it a few days, I think you'll be realizing you made good choices!

I’m sure you’ll love the new one

Buy it. You don’t like it, sell it like you did the last one. Then you’ll know you never really liked it enough to keep. Take the winnings and venture to another watch.
