The 41mm Subs are much more balanced than the previous reference. The clasp is not an issue at all.

Wears great. Very well proportioned and balanced.
I've owned multiple Subs and think the new ones wear the best.
Hope to see you with yours soon.

New 41 wears smaller than the previous 40.

I don’t notice the clasp at all. Perfectly comfortable.

6.75 inch wrist here.

How does the watch wear in comparison to the previous model? Does the clasp feel out of proportion on your wrist at all? I'm just very curious to hear your thoughts on the bracelet/clasp and the comfort as it relates to those 2 components on your wrist. Thanks much!!

I have a 7’ wrist and the new 41 mm green sub fits me very well. I have a flat wrist and I also rock a SD43. The clasps never bothered me.

I have a 6 1/2 inch wrist as well, and this (above) is my experience also.

The clasp does take up much of the underside length of my wrist, but I guess the curvature fits me perfectly because it's completely comfortable, i.e., I don't notice it at all.

No problem at all when I rest my hand on a desk, work on a keyboard, etc., but you will really have to try one on as YMMV.

I've had my Sub since December and the clasp is no issue at all

Clasp is only a issue on TRF. Iv had both 114060 and now a 126110 and I can’t tell the difference.

I’ve been wearing the new Submariner since September last year and quite simply it is the most comfortable watch to wear in my collection. I cannot comment on previous models but this watch is ace!

I have no issues what so ever with the bracelet or clasp the comfort level is superb.

However;

You are not me, our wrist size and shape will not be the same, the only person who can decide on what is comfortable for your wrist is you.

I hope that the watch is for you, it’s a great watch.

No issues here with clasp on 41mm Sub. Just get the links right during fitting and wear it. All of the 41mm's new proportions are Goldilocks' "just right" IMO.

I’ve owned two of the 40mm ceramic Subs and find 41mm wears better on my wrist. I prefer the wider bracelet/clasp and proportions of the newer model.

The new Submariner rocks. I have an 8 1/4" wrist and it fits the best of any sub I have owned from 1680"s thru to 116610LV.
