The longer I stare the more I want one…

Think I’d go for the new one personally.

Had the smurf and now have the new WG sub. Both superb but the new dimensions really sold me on the new one.

The smurf all the way. Just such a distinctive and no mistake what it is watch. Just love the colors, I have had mine for about 5 years and I don’t think I would ever part ways with it

Having seen both in person, not at the same time, Smurf wins.

I do like the darker blue better on the new one. If they made one with a darker blue bezel and dial it would be amazing.

Both look beautiful but If I'm going to spend that amount of $$ on a PM piece I want a special dial so Smurf for me.

I'd put the blue dial in the Sub41 for the perfect WG Sub.

Is the 126619 physically wider than the 116619?

Cool I’ve got a bunch too across series. You prefer the dimensions of the sub 41 in ALL aspects over the dimensions of your hulk?

Mostly subtle but yes. I do like the slimmer lugs and wider bracelet.

Fair enough. Me personally, I prefer the 12 series overall versus the 11 but it is not a clean sweep on all aspects. On the 12, I prefer the better comfort, thinner lugs and AR coating. On the 11, I prefer the slimmer bracelet and clasp. Maybe because my wrists are only 6.5-6.75. On the black versions it is easier for me then to say 12 series on balance. On the green and blue versions it gets harder because dial color/dynamics comes into play. Blue is my favorite color, so can't get enough, which means Smurf for me on balance. Green less so, which means ceramic Kermit for me on balance. So complicated lol. Anyway, enjoy!!
