Just my personal opinion though.

I have both and agree with these guys

Would not be surprised for the 11 series to gain a bigger following as years pass by. The slightly bigger lugs gives off a beefier/tougher look. More of a tool/bada$$ vibe for those with that style. If you want an elegant/dainty look, there are so many other models in the lineup with skinnier lugs. That choice is now gone.

Considering lugs/case alone, along with lineage/history, I can see why many like the 12. However, when considering the bracelet, the 12 doesn't seem to flow as well (similar to how many felt for 11), but in a different way. Still not sold on the slightly wider bracelet/bigger clasp. Although minor, can see the difference and something seems off. The clasp is almost silly at this point. Especially knowing that they now have a mini glidelock on the new ym on OF. Only a few here have alluded to this glidelock being a game changer (probably because many haven't seen yet), but that is what they should start offering in few more models.

You summed my thoughts up exactly

I don’t like the nickname but I love my watch. I think the 5 digit and the 12 series both have enough differences to justify having multiple subs in a collection but personally not for me to do so. Glad to read how those who do have multiples find an appreciation for each.

I tried on the 12 series SubC date and it just did not do it for me. Bracelet too wide. Engorged clasp. Proportions all wrong! All personal opinions of course :) to each their own!

Who else feels some love for the Fatboi now that it’s gone?

What the hell is a “fatboi”? Is there some kind of a contest taking place on TRF for inventing the dumbest Rolex nickname?

Count me in!

[Speedsleev]

Have them both. If I blindfolded you, I would wager you would be able to tell the difference of either actually on the wrist.
