Rolex sports models that wear thinner?

So my only Rolex pieces in my collection currently are a 1675 and a 1625.

For a while now I have been thinking the 16570 would make a perfect versatile sports watch for me, smaller than the too big for my wrist (~6") 216570 but new enough to wear as an actual sports watch (most of my collection are vintage and on leather so require care and an avoidance of water).

At a xmas party this past weekend I ran into a fella with a 16570 on the wrist, he also probably had a sub 6.5" wrist and I noticed the watch wore huge on his wrist, the bezel and crystal seemed to dome up dramatically similar to the look I found when trying on the Milgauss. I didn't ask to try it on and still haven't had one on my wrist but it made me think that perhaps I should be seeking a slimmer model.

I find my 1675 and 1625 do not have an obtrusive thickness, with some reading around it sounds like their thickness is ~11-11.5. Which I wouldn't think would be a noticeable difference from the supposed 12.2mm thickness of the 16570.

Regardless of actual measurements do some models seem to wear thinner while on the wrist, despite what the specs may say?
