16610 & 16803

Greetings all. I may be loosing my mind or just plain staring to much. But my 16803 looks bigger than the 16610 I just picked up last week.

Do my eye deceive me? Tried measuring with a straight rule but seems like millimetres. The websites say both are listed at 40mm. On my wrist the 16803 blue/18k looks larger.

You may be losing your mind...I just hope you are not "loosing" your mind - I.e. that your brain is not detaching from your skull ;-)

Great Subs!!!

From those pictures, the 16803 looks smaller!

It's the color. I've noticed my 116610 LVC looks bigger then my 116610 LN. I've always attributed it to the old adage that black is slimming!

The Bluesy is bigger in your eyes because of how our minds process shapes.

Which of these lines looks longer?

Me thinks these are logical and light plays a part too.
