But as u just said "there very may well may have been some tweaking"......by default "tweaking" makes it NOT "the exact same watch here"......🤔

Having owned the black 116520, I know I would have to see it for myself before I would plunk down the cash. But that's me.

WG non-lumed hands against anything that is dark is going to be a legibility issue, IMO.
Yes, I would be seeing it in the metal before buying. Was simply curious to get impressions from owners. The feedback so far does seem to suggest that the legibility of the black dial has been improved.
