Does the 116610 wear bigger than the 16610 even though they are both 40mm?

YES

ecsub44 · 22 June 2013, 12:41 PM

Indeed!

dddrees · 22 June 2013, 12:44 PM

Yes

jvo300 · 22 June 2013, 12:46 PM

Yep

DT14 · 22 June 2013, 12:46 PM

definitely

sleddog · 22 June 2013, 12:47 PM

No question......yes it does!

All aspects of the 116610 are 'bigger' than the 16610. Lug thickness, crown guards, and larger bezel insert, all add up to an eye perceptive larger case.
Factor in the maxi dial (larger lume hour dots), and you've a larger watch in perspective between one an other!!

Nycturbovr6 · 22 June 2013, 02:42 PM

Yes it does.

Chewbacca · 22 June 2013, 02:47 PM

yup. yuppers.

AF_Rob · 22 June 2013, 02:51 PM

Yes! With the wider lugs, chunkier hands and maxi dial. It all adds up to that feel.

SaddleSC · 22 June 2013, 02:55 PM

Yes...most definitely:)

Nidal · 22 June 2013, 02:57 PM

Yes. Almost comparable to the old dea dweller without changing the dial size

versatile1 · 22 June 2013, 02:59 PM

No.

YES

I'd like to offer an opposing opinion - but I can't. Definitely more wrist presence.

crowncollection · 22 June 2013, 04:24 PM

bonbonson · 22 June 2013, 05:01 PM

Simply yes. The case,lugs and bezel make it look bigger IMO

travisb · 22 June 2013, 06:34 PM

Another yes. In case there weren't enough yet.

Yes agree and that's about it a optical allusion that it wears bigger, the extra weight just around 7 grams is just the different clasp and ceramic bezel and insert. But that would depend on what power loupe you were gazing at your watch with at the time.

HL65 · 22 June 2013, 08:37 PM

Yes

cop414 · 22 June 2013, 08:43 PM

I know that in pics it looks like it would. I'm surprised that someone hasn't posted up a wrist comparison pic, I know that they're out there.

dukerules · 22 June 2013, 09:24 PM

Most definitely.

Rolex king 68 · 22 June 2013, 10:01 PM

mruhland31 · 22 June 2013, 10:49 PM

My buddy has the 16610 and I have the 116610. It was noticeable right away that mine wears and just over all feels bigger. Personally I love the 116610. Guess I better its the one I bought :-)
