Anyone seen lugs polished on 116610ln creating a “taper”?
I find the super case lugs too wide. And Rolex seems to agree given they tapered the 126610 lugs. But I had a thought: anyone ever polish the 116610 lugs enough to create their own taper? I’ve obviously seen a lot of extra metal polished away on vintage Subs but haven’t seen the effect on the super case
Pictures would be great if anyone has seen

Why would anyone in their right mind do this …
Best leave it as original, sell it and buy a different watch if it bothers someone that much.
Have you ever tailored your clothing?
“Why not buy another piece of clothing?” Same thing here. If I could help their design team perfect the watch in production I would!
And actually you sound like...
... you would be happiest with a 16610 or even a midsize Tudor Submariner from the 80ies/90ies, if I take all your recent inquiries together.
Yeah I have many other 16610, 16800s
But I wanted the ceramic bezel look also. Just on a watch that fit me better
