Sub or yacht for small wrist man

Hi. I’m now considering to add another Rolex to my collection. I had a 16610 and now and it fits pretty well on my 16cm wrist cuz the small case design I guess.
I’m interested in the new yacht master 37 which is 268622 and the TT sub 116613LN.
But don’t know how the new case design on sub fits me.
The pic of the 16610 on my wrist is in the comments
Pleased to hear your opinion. Cheers

If you have a photobucket account of comparable you can post their photos immediately!!! I find the modern subs too large for my comfort with a 6.5 inch wrist!!!

The regular 40mm YM wears smaller than the Sub. I'd have a look at that.

Either of those two will fit you in my opinion. I’m fine with a watch as long as the lugs don’t overhang. Others on this forum disagree which is why you’ll see comments about need a 7.5” wrist for some watches but I don’t feel the same. Wear what you like. It’s your money!

The six digit sub offers a more adjustable bracelet via a fewer number of permanent links and the glide lock clasp. Pretty sure you'll be fine with that.

But, try them both on and see for yourself.

I would choose a 16610 before the newer Yacht Master.
Ever considered having it on a NATO?
I use my 16610 on a "Bond Nato" and I absolutely love it.

The new Yacht-Master 37 (268622) is a very good size and should fit you well

Try posting a few more comments on the forums and a pic would be helpful once able.

My instinct tells me the Bluesy is going to be too big for you to wear comfortably. The Glidelock is amazing but also, a long clasp if your wrist isn't shaped flat once under 7 inches or so. The YM37 is one you can't wrong with imo. Though the obvious watch for you may be the Daytona in this case.

I think the YM37 is a near perfect size for your wrist. I have the 40, which is about as big as I like on my 7" wrist.
