Question on Subs....

To those that have the 16610 AND the 116610:
Are there differences, such as weight, lume time lasting, comfort of bracelets, etc?

Would you own both again?

Which gets the most wrist time?

Thanks.

Best you do a search. This has been debated too many times already.

The 116610 is a bit heavier than the 16610.

The dial is a maxi dial and case has larger lugs on the 116610 so it appears larger on the wrist than the 16610 although both are 40mm.

The 116610 bezel is ceramic and shinny as opposed to the aluminum bezel on the 11610

The bracelet links are solid and has an adjustable clasp on the 116610...as apposed to the hollow links and non adjustable (on the fly) clasp.

The lume is blue on 116610..as opposed to the green on the 16610. Lume time lasting is the same as far as I know.

I find the 116610 more comfortable than the 16610 but that is only my opinion based on my wrist size I suppose.

Finally I own both and have found myself to wear the 116610 more often.

Super summary of the differences.
Thanks!

May I ask a silly question? What is the difference between the Sub and the Sub-C. I'm new here, please excuse my ignorance.
