Rolex 126610 vs 116600

[timewarped80]

Is the new sub noticeably more comfortable on a 7inch wrist, or not really significant enough to notice?

Has anyone compared these two? Would like to see how they look next to each other.

I think it’s more comfortable.

Hopefully someone can post the info.

I'd say they wear about the same IMHO.

The only thing I notice is that the new model seems to wear flatter or lower on my wrist. Maybe its just a visual thing with the new taper and wider bracelet. Whatever the case, it feels like a slimmer watch to me.

FWIW, I have a flat 7" wrist and own both.

Pictures for reference. Not the exact reference you're looking for but wearing would be the same.

I'm assuming you meant 126610 vs 116610?

Here's a video that compares the differences between the two models:

Thanks for the video but I would like to hear a comparison of the previous sea dweller and the new submariner. One of the big likes on the sea dweller was the slimmer lugs and crown guards. The new submariner has that but remains roughly the same size as the previous submariner which is slightly bulkier than the sd4k.

Has anyone actually compared the case back between the two? Wonder if the 12xxxx has a lower profile case back?

I have both and prefer the 126610 sub41

If you genuinely mean the 116600 (i.e. the SD4K) then the 126610 Sub will be a lot more comfortable IMO.

However if that was a mistake/typo and you meant the 116610 Sub, then personally I don’t think there’s any noticeable difference in comfort compared to the 126610. Now I will admit I’ve only tried a few 12 series pieces on, and I own a 116610 so my comparison is limited, but I genuinely didn’t feel any difference. But then I happen to find the 116610 to be superbly comfortable anyway, so YMMV. I genuinely believe the differences are so minor that if you were blindfolded you’d never know which you were wearing.
