You have given very good advice! Why didn't I think of replacing the bracelet? People get sick and their brains stop working... The happy thing is that I'm better now and everything is back to routine. I'll look into a new bracelet as an alternative though, thanks.😃

In my opinion the 126610 Sub is the best modern 6 digit Sub. Much better than 116610 with his ugly thick Lugs. Much more defined like an old 5 digit Submariner. Slimmer Lugs and a wider Bracelet is really nice But this are my 2Cents[emoji6] Gesendet von meinem 23078PND5G mit Tapatalk

I've got a smaller wrist myself, and sometimes even a millimeter or two can make a big difference in how comfortable a watch feels.

Like Freddy said, diameter is not the best metric here. I had a genuine 37mm Tudor BB54 and it was AWFULLY unbalanced and heavier than a 14060/16610. Also, I have had 39mm watches with Lug-to-Lug's in excess of 50mm. Precious metal like the Blue White Gold Submariner weighs more as well. That said, a neo-vintage Sub like the 14060 on a hollow 93150 braclet is probably the best option if you can go Gen. --- or find an ARF 16610 and swap to a 93150 with Hollow links... Otherwise, look into Titanium or Carbon cases. I just picked up the VSF NTTD v5 (all Ti) Bond Seamaster and is like I am not wearing a watch! Good luck.

I am sorry to hear about your injury, but is the problem with 40mm+ watches due to their size or weight? If it is a weight issue, why not just replace the metal bracelet on the larger Sub with a NATO, Zulu or rubber strap, any of which should reduce the weight to below that of a braceleted 37mm Sub?

I believe TJ is using Acetimer watch winder cases. They made a few different models in various sizes, number of winder pairs & wood finishes. I have a few of them myself, but unfortunately Acetimer's website went AWOL several years ago & I have not seen any for sale since then. They really are beautiful cases & the winders are quiet & work well, but their motors tend to fail after 10 or 12 years. In fact, I have been looking for replacement motors for 1 of my cases, but none of the motors I have received have been the correct type. To date, I have not found anything similar to the Acetimer, especially for the prices they originally sold for.
