The 5-digit is nice, but it should have had a maxi dial and hand.

I have a full set 5-digit incoming and really excited. To me trying them on there are pros and cons to both, but they sort of even out, so all things about the peice equal, I'll save the few grand.

If the 5 digit came with a glide lock clasp, that would be one thing. But it doesn't.

6. The updates made to the ceramics are great, robust. As mentioned as well, bracelet with glidelock.

I went with the 6 digit when I was searching for a SS model. Felt it was more masculine, but this time the opposite with the two tone. The lines and shape are more romantic on the 5 series. My 2c.

5 digit is classic but I would consider 6 diggits for glidelock.

I have a 16803 and would much rather have a 116613. The 16803 feels cheap compared to my 116610.

6 hands down....yes my 1980 DJ is VERY comfortable too, much more comfortable than the brick 116618lb on my hand that leaves marks bc it's so heavy, but it's 6 digits HANDS DOWN.

Not sure of the dial differences, but six digit for maxi case and ceramic bezel be my choice

I don’t really mind the older bracelets, owning a 5 digit Daytona myself. I just prefer the look of the ceramic subs.

Back in the late 1990's the 5 digit blusey was the one watch I used to stare at and admire when I was stuck with lower end watches. I really wanted one but I could reach to it financially.
I've now got a 6 digit and absolutely love it, it's one of my favourite watches, it's like having the sun and summer on my wrist! No way would I give up 6-digit features, they just make the watch more substantial and a great all rounder |

The 16613 (I’m biased) gains your eye on the dial. The 116613 has a bezel which takes away from the dial. And the 5 is just a more natural blue imop.

I don’t know guys, I think this 116613LB is one of the nicest looking Rolex watches ever. I admit it’s hard to be objective lol…

Yes, the 16613 is on the right.

I’ve had both 5 and 6 digits multiple times. The 6 digit bracelet, glidelock clasp, solid bracelet links, and ceramic bezel makes the 6 digit a no brainer in my opinion.

5 digits Bluesy for me all day. No ceramic 6 digit one will give you the same colors of the dial and bezel. Look at later iterations of 16613 with gold through the entire clasp, engraved rehaut and no holes case with solid end links bracelet. I love ceramic Subs with both black and green bezels, but in the case of Bluesy they don't come close to 16613
