Sub date thickness 16610 vs 116610 vs 126610
Does anyone have numbers on case thickness between these three models (excluding Cyclops of course).
I have seen 12.3 mm for 12series and 12.5 for 11 but don't actually know what are the correct numbers. The 11 certainly wears bigger than the 12 (feels flatter/lower) on my small wrist. I have never tried the 5 digit before and am tracking the clasp and lack of AR will be the worst downgrade for a daily wearer. At very early stages of toying with idea of trading 126610lv for 16610lv. |

I just measured these using pieces we have in for CPO service. Calipers on crystal and caseback. Hope this is what you're looking for.
126610 measured 12.40mm 116610 measured 12.65mm 16610 measured 12.64mm

Fantastic thank you so much! This should be moved over to the watch reference forum!

I have checked both my 126610 and 16610 and the figures are 12,8mm for the 16610 and 12,7mm for the 126610.

The difference in thickness is unnoticeable to the human eye. I have an 114060 and it wears smaller than the 12 series on my small 6.5 inch wrist. The dial and overall proportions of the watch feels smaller, while the 12 series seems to have a larger, emptier, appearing dial. These are very minute differences though that most people would actually not even notice.

Is the midcase thicker on the 6 digits than the 5 digits? The 6 digits always seemed a little more slab sided.
