Upgraded my 116618LB. My first Submariner Date 41.
I purchased a few years back a grail of mine. The 116618LB. Loved the watch. Loved the maxi case of the Submariner.
When the 41 came, I did not give thought of upgrading the 116618LB as I thought this was more "desirable" as it was discontinued and I thought that the 40mm was perfect for my 6.75inch wrist.. But then I got offered to upgrade to the 126618LB.. I instantly loved the newer size. It actually feels better on the wrist. The bigger bracelet really compliments the look of the Sub. I just think the clasp is a tad too big . Oh.. and i think the white text on the sunburst bluendial looks better? Late in the sub41 game but just sharing my thoughts hehe.

Being the WIS that i am. I actually weighed it. The newer reference weighed in at 236g vs the 116618LB at 216g.
Same fit for my 6.7 in. Btw I also noticed that the newer 12 reference came with a half link Sent from my SM-S908E using Tapatalk |

First, congrats on an awesome watch! Second, I know exactly what you mean by the weight; it’s one of the things I like about mine.

I had both next to each other and opted for the previous model. I have to admit for me the gold lettering on the dial was the main driving factor , couple with one of the last ever 31 movements. I do prefer the clasp also.
