Looking For Something Similar To 116613LB

Hi All,

My husband wears a 116613LB. I love that watch and wish I could find something similar. The 40MM is way to big for me. I now wear a 26MM 179173 DateJust.

I also like the Tiffany Blue Oyster that has been discontinued, but that's even larger. Did Rolex ever produce something close to the 116613LB but smaller?

Thanks.

Maybe try Yacht Master 37mm or 40mm. The 40mm Yacht Master wears smaller than standard 40mm Sub in my opinion.

Pre-ceramics models are smaller, thinner and lighter...
You should have a look or try a 16613LB!

It's the one and only watch that to my knowledge is close to your husband's.

Hi, and welcome. If your comfort zone is 26 mm watches, you won’t find any Rolex that’s similar. Start searching women’s watches online, and see if you can find something that you like.
Something like this, perhaps: It’s Swiss, 34 mm, but quartz, not automatic. Should be a nice fit, and does resemble your husband’s watch, but is girly. Also, inexpensive. It’s on Macy’s website.

They made some of the older Yacht Masters all the way down to 29mm I believe. They were sold as two tone as well. I would say that would be probably the closest small option in terms of design language.

Reference number is 169623 for the 29mm YM TT. Or look at the older DJ's 69173's with the oyster bracelet and blue dial.

37mm Yachtmaster may fit the bill. I've worn my father's first generation PT YM (16622 I believe?) & it wears smaller/thinner than my Smurf.

Welcome on TRF

As others suggested the YM which is essentially a luxury Submariner is the only sports model which Rolex makes in various sizes.

Below the one of the Mrs in 29mm next to mine in 40mm.
Think of it in a two tone configuration to match the 116613

36 mm DJ? 16233 with a blue dial on oyster would be cool!
