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. |

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. |
