After purchasing the 16600, a friend of mine who has a 5513 Sub commented that the SD may be too much for my "less than burly" wrist. I assured him it was fine.

After a week on the wrist, I couldn't be happier with the size of this watch. Typically I wear a 36 to 38mm watch, with some of my vintage watches down to a 34mm. The 40mm took a little time to get used to... maybe a whole 10 minutes or so.

The Oyster bracelet is amazingly comfortable and once I put the SD on, its like it isn't even there. It doesn't pinch, pull or bind the way the steel band on my King Seiko Hi-Beat does.

I think this watch and I are going to have a long and happy relationship.

Dude can you tell me how the weight feels distributed? I’m leaning towards a 14060m over this because the dial is simpler and doesn’t have the date but if I could have it without the cyclops I think I might dig it hence the 16600.

From what I’ve read since it’s taller than the sub it can feel weird weight wise and not distribute evenly. Have you felt anything like that?

I think the fit is right for you. Congrats and enjoy.

I tried the SD before getting my 14060M. Your concerns are valid IMO. It’s definitely a bit TOP heavy as compared to the Sub. Which is why I eventually went with the Sub.

The 16600 is a fantastic watch. Wearing mine today as well. Fits very comfortably. Congrats on the purchase.

socialpro · 12 June 2020, 01:10 PM

Good fit and as long as it wears comfortable its a keeper! Enjoy!!

I had the same reservations initially, but after wearing it for a very short time, I haven't given it another thought. I am one of the weird guys whho is left handed and wear their watch on their left wrist, so I am aware of it when I do something that I think may cause it to contact a surface, but other than that... it wears like it was made for me.

Gerry62 · 12 June 2020, 09:06 PM

Awesome !
Congrats !

Only the Deepsea surpasses it in technique but has much very larger dimensions.
16600 it has an ideal balance and proportions ....
my Rolex absolute favorite ......

My next acquisition will probably be a 16710 GMT. I kind of want the Air / Land / Sea combo... GMT / Datejust / Sea Dweller.
