OF Fit Question

[CHRONOLEX]

If you have both a 116 and 126 OF Daytona:

Have you found the 126 to fit a touch looser? I have a 116 that is in all the way on the clasp and fits snug. With the same straps on the 126 - also all the way in - the 126 is somewhat loose.

I'm running a D/E combination on both but will have to make some kind of adjustment to make the 126 fit better.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

According to EEpro’s caliper measurements from his recent thread, the SEL measurements from 12 to 6 (basically lug to lug) are right around 1mm smaller on the 12 series. If anything your 12 series should feel a little tighter, if you can really feel 1mm difference.

Are the straps the same size? Same part #?

Yes same. I think maybe there is slightly more length from the longer Glidelock clasp in the 126.

Sounds like you already answered your question. If the strap is same size (Mm) then it’s about the l2g and clasp. Interesting you point out the gl is longer than 16 so it makes sense to fit loser. I’d want one smaller on OF then you gain some adjustability from the GL?

Those would be my thoughts, too.

Good luck and keep us posted.
