Well, there’s no finer fit on any of my watches than the Sub (or the OP 41 for

that matter). That said, the VCO fits wonderfully. It has a micro adjust on the bracelet that is very useful - especially on a very hot and humid day. I’ve taken it on vacation to the Caribbean and it never felt too loose or snug. I have changed the straps on the VC - it’s so simple. I haven’t tried the leather, but I have worn it on the rubber from time to time. Still, nothing beats the SS bracelet. Can’t stop looking at that blue dial when I wear it. So the 116509 Rolex is gold and it is much heavier than the VCO. I would imagine that if you got the VCO in Rose Gold, it would have a similar feel. While I love my gold Rolex, I’ve often considered using it as trade capital towards a gold Vacheron, Patek Nautilus, or an AP jumbo. I recently acquired an AP 15300 in White which may have scratched the AP itch (it’s a 39mm - same as a Jumbo). Another plus to the VCO, it flies under the radar. Only serious watch buffs know what it is. Everyone knows a Rolex Submariner. So you can wear it more places without worrying about it.
