Tough to say. I really love the bracelet/clasp/bezel and sportiness of the 116610.

The 16610 has the classic sub look and the slimmer lugs look better to me on Nato's (which I wear often).

I own and equally enjoy both: the 16800 for a more classic design and lighter feel, the 116610 for a more modern style with the latest upgrades.

I like the 116610 more than the 16610 - nicer clasp, maxi dial, and beautiful ceramic bezel.

I prefer 116610LN. 5 digits feel kinda cheap to me.

I like the big case of the 6 digit for it’s sturdy look and the shiny ceramic bezel.
The glidelock I could have done without, way too big.

I have a 6.5 in wrist and feel like the 6 digit is a bit too big for me. Otherwise the 6 digit is perfect.
