Datejust ??

Anyone have a 1162XX and a 162XX DJ? If so does the 1162XX wear a little bigger because of the larger lugs ? I had a 16200 that I gave to my son which he loves,,, just thought it looked a bit small on,, and I don't have big wrists.

I had a 116231 and have a 16234. Owned both of them at the same time for a 4 year period. The 116231 did wear larger due to the larger lugs as you have stated. Overall, the size difference is minimal, but to the trained eye, the difference can be seen. Also, the solid centre links made the 116231 feel a little more "substantial".

The polished lugs also causes the 11623x to feel more substantial, at least to me...

Here is a side by side comparison. Not sure if it will help...

The 6 digit models definitely wear bigger. I've had both, but only let the 116233. The updated bracelet makes it feel a little more substantial too.
