The 116718 has landed...

I had been pondering over this ref for a few days already, and decided to go green dial.

Thanks to Mike(kilyung) for his advice 9 months ago ...."go for gold"

Thanks to all who posted their pics of the 116718, it finally pushed me over to YG.

Here's a quick pic, will remove them stickers in a short while.

Awesome watch! I'm currently in pursuit of that one. What made you choose green dial over black? Again congrats!

Thank you my friends, the green dial blends well with the YG, imo. A bit of 'pop' to it.

Another beautiful acquisition Patrick. I am just wondering, how does 40mm feel compared tothe 422 which is 47mm feel. I feel that it is a big difference and I don't know if I can convince myself to the smaller watch. I am so used to 44mm and I find it difficult to wear a 40mm. I wish it wasn't the case because most of Rolex most eye appealing watches are 40mm. This one you bought has me drooling but I just don't know how to convince myself. Do you have any suggestions as we seem to have similar taste. Thanks and a very big congrats on the gold!

I have had the Green One and Just Bought the Black One yesterday.

Black is a better all around option for me. The Green was not wearable on all occasions. Having said that, I found myself staring at the Green dial one more often. It really is to each his own.
