Got a half link fitted in place of a full link and now it's finally perfect. Wish the bracelet had micro adjustments though

Really wetdreams indeed...swee lah

I am old. unfit. and have a good tailor from Sukhumvit. Can recommend you if you are keen via PM

Tried this on again. Too big

no lug overhanging your wrists = good fit !

you are simply not used to the extra large watch face - a good 20-30% more because of the corners. but i'll bet it looks amazing from afar.

as you know is have the black one and it gets more attention than many others.

Ironically I was on a smaller Heuer yesterday

And the autavia the day before

gx84 (or anyone else with some knowledge about these watches), between the 16660, 16600 and 116600, what to get??

i really want a 116600, but i thought since already have a modern rolex with the new case and ceramic bezel, could look for something with more vintage...

I was in quite a similar situation as you a few weeks ago (except that this is my first Rolex), so I ultimately went for a 116600 due to these factors:

1) Cerachrom bezel
2) Bigger markers and hands
3) Bigger lugs

These are personal preferences, although I tried on the 16600 a week back and it looked great as well with the smaller lugs.

Here's a couple of links which I hope are of help to you in making your choice:

In your case, I guess you could go the vintage route and get an earlier model with lug holes for a vintage tool watch look (again, some people love em, while others don't) on the case.

No feel for that one leh...
