Rolex

Yeah I have many other 16610, 16800s

But I wanted the ceramic bezel look also. Just on a watch that fit me better

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 S...

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.

I’ve couldn’t say it better myself Captain! Why would anyone do that?

It’s beyond me 😉

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!

You can just buy the 126610 and problem solved…

It’s too big - 41mm and the 21mm bracelet overpower my wrist

The 126610 wears smaller than the 116610!

It is far closer to the 16610.

You think? Always looked a lot bigger to my eye

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.
