Sold my Sub, and now I want a Sub...

Hoping to get some info and some opinions here. I sold my ceramic Sub a while back .

It just never felt right on my wrist. I have very thin wrists at 6" if keep the measuring cloth snug, and a little under if I pull it tight. The Sub just felt a little too long lug to lug, and a little too long in the clasp. Both of those together just slightly put the watch off for me.

I loved the 116610 otherwise. I bought a new Explorer I to satisfy my Rolex itch. Love how solid the new models feel, love the blue lume, etc., and I've been loving the Explorer.

But I still find myself thinking about the Sub, and now I'm looking at older models. The 16610 looks smaller, due to the lugs, but I don't think it's actually smaller? My question to the Rolex experts - is there a certain model Sub that wears a little smaller? 16610 is a classic, 14060 is great too, and my favorite might be the 16610LV.

I've done some searches, and hear the 14060 wears smaller, but can't seem to find out why people say that. Others talk about different end links making a difference?

I wear an Anonimo Polluce that fits fine at 42mm. I'm not concerned about how the watch will look - anything remotely modern will look big on me. I'm okay with that. But if the watch doesn't fit, and the Sub C was just a touch too big, that's a deal breaker.

So help me decide if a Sub could be in my future, or if I should go back to other makers for my dive watch fix!

And every thread needs pictures, so here's three shots I randomly found through google, and moved to imgur hosting:
