Daytona 116500LN

Apologies if this has already been answered. Does cosmograph Daytona (ceramic) fit much smaller than other 40mm? Does anyone have side by side comp w sub or GMT? Thanks in advance.

It’s smaller, but the pushers and the way it hugs the wrist still give it wrist presence.

It wears smaller because it is smaller than other 40mm references.
Takes some getting used to if you’re a bigger guy used to wearing the larger references.
I have found at first that it was a tad too small but, as mentioned above, has its own wrist presence that eventually offsets the small feel.

Here’s my GMT, Daytona, and DJ41 for a comparison:





It is a bit smaller, but I truly don’t understand why so many state it is “so small.”

I have a 7.25” wrist and it’s perfect.

Yes, the 116500 wears smaller than a Sub or GMT.

Some other comparison photos can be found here:

Agreed. Just a different style and not as thick. Everything is fine. Thanks for visuals.

Like others have said, Daytona is a bit smaller. Slimmer lugs and fixed, flat bezel add the visual effect.
