The newer version seems to be more comfortable.

Agree! Plus the slimmer lugs on the 12 version make it look more like the traditional sub. I owned all three versions of the 116 and sold all of them. Prefer the wider bracelet and the subdued look of the new WG sub.

Noooooooooo! that's the beauty of either variation....that white gold with the PCL sparkles and shines perfectly! Something about that combo just works

Sold my 8 year old Smurf last month (got an offer very hard to refuse). Patiently waiting to get my hands on the Cookie Monster :) I have to say, the black dial with blue bezel is a nicer combo than blue/blue on the Smurf.

I prefer the series 12. I am not a fan of the Maxi case.

How did the silly nickname for this watch get selected. Maybe we need a new panel of judges.

Or maybe we all have an opinion no greater than another’s … fwiw Cookie Monster and sprite sounds silly, but in the grand scheme of things …….

It's really only special with the blue dial, the modern version is too boring for me.
