I do t have any side by side photos at the moment, but from 3 feet away you’d be hard pressed to tell

Slight differences, personal preference.

I prefer the new model. I was never a fan of the maxi case. Too boxy looking.

I prefer the 40mm dial size for Subs and GMTs, it is only 1mm but it makes a difference to my eye, just makes the dial a bit wider, more bulbous. I prefer it tight.

I am a big fan of the more graceful, decreased lug proportions on the 12 series case. I wore a 116610 and 114060 for years and while these are beautiful watches, the boxy square vibe of the lugs was always in my head LOL.
I have the 126610 and it feels like the perfect modern Rolex Sub to me. |

Try them on. There are trade-offs for both models.

Both are great… my 114060 is my daily driver, and been contemplating getting a 12 series.

I own both … I was never a fan of the “squared off” look of the 11 Series … inside by side / HD photos it obvious … but, on the wrist, there’s really not much difference.
If I were at the AD, and they had both, new … I would buy the 12 Series. |

I much prefer the older 40mm 114060 model, like the maxi case slightly more sporty/athletic looking casework , at the end of the day however is all about personal preferences

I have worn both. Can not tell a difference except for large clasp on the 41mm. Even to this day, I have a difficult time determining if a Sub is a 40mm or 41mm. My quickest way is looking for the small crown at 6 o'clock position. Otherwise, I honestly don't have a preference. No one else in the real world will know (or care) either. I'd say get whichever suits you. There is no wrong answer.

I was ALWAYS a fan of larger lugs and would not buy 12 over 11, but that’s because of obvious 😬 movement design fault. Same applies for 11 over 12 GMT (or any 11 vs 12).

There was a point when I could have flipped my 11, make a nice profit, and then buy a 12 for MSRP at an AD. But I never felt compelled to do so. If you’re at a party with a bunch of watch enthusiasts, nobody would know the difference. You have to get a good close up to tell the difference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
