I tried on my buddy’s Sub C last week and was wondering if everyone felt the same as I did. I just am not thrilled with how it looks on me. Despite being impressive, I think for my wrist I much prefer the look of the older style case. I guess this rules out a SD43

Thoughts?

HAL330 · 12 April 2018, 01:26 PM

Im partial to the blue dial.... but then I am biased.

djhiram · 12 April 2018, 02:01 PM

I should add I have a 6.5-6.75 in wrist

Alexwwjd · 12 April 2018, 02:08 PM

It looks great!!! Don't overthink it and enjoy it!

Nothing wrong with liking the older case. I personally like all of them.

It looks like it fits you fine!!! Great watch!!!

More important is how it feels!!!

bdex75 · 12 April 2018, 03:33 PM

I like the 5 digit. But I like it better in 95% of the situations, not just yours.

I Bought a SubC and something always felt off about it. Like you, I wasn't thrilled with how the maxi case looked on me. I eventually traded it for a 5 digit sub and it immediately felt right and what I thought wearing a Rolex should feel like.

Rolex.c6 · 12 April 2018, 03:46 PM

Both look good. Personally I'm more atracted to the 6 digit models.

JacksonStone · 12 April 2018, 04:19 PM

The pic is a bit close to get a good perspective on the SubC, but from what I can tell, it looks fine on you. So does the five-digit. Get whichever one you prefer.

osamu · 12 April 2018, 04:45 PM

I think size wise, it looks fine. 5- vs. 6-digit is just subjective, and nothing wrong with preferring the proportions of the older. I think I prefer it as well.

I agree . Plus if you really want the Bluesy get the
Ceramic 6 digit version ... bam !!!

Onikage · 12 April 2018, 06:59 PM

I like to see a bit more bracelet myself.

tyler1980 · 12 April 2018, 07:05 PM

i like the newer case personally

thesharkfactor · 12 April 2018, 07:23 PM

I wish the ceramic blue insert was the same colour as the old one, that looks amazing.

tle156 · 12 April 2018, 07:26 PM

I much prefer the SubC over the 2-tones

Nice Sub date! Looks good on you

toolr · 12 April 2018, 08:55 PM

Both look fine, I prefer the Sub C though.

Tomas Eriksson · 12 April 2018, 09:00 PM

Owned multiple 6-digit subs, multiple 5-digit, one 4-digit. Just bought myself a 6-digit once again (this time a 116610), they are a thing of beauty and its very impressive how robust they are.

Quicksilver · 12 April 2018, 09:08 PM

I felt the same with my No-Date Sub C. It was a beautiful watch but I never bonded with the Super Case on my 6.5 wrist and prefer the look of the 5 digit references, so I flipped it.

ccaballero · 12 April 2018, 09:09 PM

The SD43 has a case similar to the 5 digit references just larger in size.

Exactly this

If you’re looking for a modern reference with vintage lines, the SD43 is one to consider

1William · 12 April 2018, 09:20 PM

I think that the Submariner look great on you. The TT look good also.

TarponGeorge · 12 April 2018, 10:14 PM

Why is the lume pearl not centered in the triangle at the top of the bezel?

peterpl · 12 April 2018, 10:38 PM

Its because you have a Bluesy and then when you wear a 116610LN it looks dull and boring.

I had the exact same issue and feeling. I no longer own the LN.

dr35mm · 12 April 2018, 11:06 PM

Looks good on you and I love my Sub C, over 5 digits, something I thought I would never say.

Couldn't agree more.

Token74 · 12 April 2018, 11:43 PM

Try a 116600 - although it is chunkier than the Sub and technically the same diameter, it wears smaller across the wrist due to the slimmer lugs.
