On the other hand I'm 5'8" tall with a 6.5in wrist. Here's the 116600 on my wrist. 43mm seems like it would just be too large.

Bumping an old thread, i have a 6.75in wrist and tried on both the 12 and 116600, they wrre both preowned, both under warranty and within $500 of each other

As much as i wanted the 126600, it was simply too big for my wrist

So whoever is still considering and comparing the two, it goes without saying, no technical advice matters as much as how it sites on your wrist and how it makes you feel

I have the SD43 and have a 7" wrist. Once I put it on I barely notice that it's there. But I've worn large watches most of my life.
