Rob, I read the arrival in the states is supposed to be in the Oct/Nov timeframe. Who knows. Pricing is said to be $5900ish USD for the 116400- black and white dial versions and $6200ish for the green glass 116400V.
Some have speculated the green glass version will be very hard to get, but as yet I'm not sure anyone really knows.
To stifle rumors the green glass is NOT a limited edition, but a regular production item. My guess would be on the order of the 16610LV.
We shall see.

Thanks for the info and the links. Some of the Tudors look very nice also. I see the milgauss is going to be 40mm...that's a departure from the 36mm Datejust. Wonder if it will bring up the already inflated value of the vintage Milgauss's? Hmmmm.....

I don't know about the price being close to $6,000. For that much I can get a two-year-old two tone blue faced sub.
