Personal preference, as others mentioned above. I personally, would not trade the “sexy” case for the awesome clasp and cerachrome bezel

They are more desirable for me personally. I really like how the case shape looks similar to the early model rectangular influence design.

Aesthetically, I find that the five-digit subs feel a bit dainty for a tool watch, and I prefer the beefier proportions of the six-digit super case.

In every technical way, I strongly prefer the six-digit subs. The ceramic bezel, more solid bracelet, and improved clasp are all winners in my book.

The new super case with "fat lug" sometimes makes it masculine look. Its the trend nowadays, it depends, but I prefer the 5 digits slimmer profile.

I had a 16600 and a 114600. At first I was put off by the larger case of the Sub. But I loved everything else about the watch and now it is my go to piece and the 16600 is gone in favor of the uniqueness of a Milgauss GV.

I went 5 digit because I wanted tritium

the super case is less attractive to me, prefer the 5 digit sub design much better!

To each their own, but your 6.5" wrist might be better off with 5-digit cases.

In general, it would seem the super case is more popular than the older, more streamlined ones. After owning six-digit Subs for years now, I like their bigger cases and the wrist presence they provide. While the five-digit models have plenty of charm, I personally found the six-digit Subs to be a better watch overall.

I am the only one hoping for a SUPER DUPER case...

Not to me. All the tiny incremental refinements over the years went out of the window Imo.

The newer bracelet/clasp is just far better, robust, and befitting what I expect from a $7500 plus watch. I just can’t get past the older bracelet.
