People seem to be saying, after seeing the Subs in the metal, that the overall result of the various changes is not simply a 1mm increase. The balance has improved, and perhaps on the wrist the watch may look better (subjective of course). For me, the case from the last several years was (is) borderline for my wrist. I wear one, a Hulk, a lot but no question my older Subs are better suited to my wrist. Given this, I’m pretty certain the new Sub is not for me (not that I needed or wanted one anyway).
