Comparison of 16610 vs 116619 fit

I currently have been wearing my WG sub and have noticed that I really do prefer the bigger lugs! The presence of it is awesome. I have a v series 16610 LN as well as an LV and I have been a traditionalist but I feel more like a convert now! I will move to get a SS version of the sub but don't know which color yet, LN or LV.

Luckily, I plan on giving my son my V series 16610 when he's older as it is his birth year.

Any others have a change in their preference between the 16610 and the 116610?

I own 3 Sub Ceramics (have owned 6 total) and an LV. The Sub Cs are my first love, but I enjoy both case sizes equally now.

I like both old and new. To me, they feel like different model watches so I've never been keen on comparing them.

Mike,
I agree that they feel like different watches. Which ceramic color do you have? What made you chose it?

If your wrist is over 7 inches then the new ceramics will fit your wrist better, the old models will feel like a womens watch esp in SS.

I initially liked the 16610.

If forced to choose, I'd now prefer the 116610, though I still wish it had smaller lugs.

I am not sure I completely agree with the second half of the statement

"the old models will feel like a womens watch esp in SS"

Come On Now!
