Loving the white gold. Not convinced about price though, may wait to see how it looks from grey market dealers before going for it.

I think so too. I like a bracelet but I do find black straps really pop a black dial or subdials so they are alright by me.

Price is the same as the leather strap ceramics. Ł21K for the WG and RG.

I could see wearing the white gold with silver dial but the yellow gold looks great.

In any case it's interesting how they are using the solid sipubdials but have yet to put them on SS model.

Maybe next year

Did anything change on the RG at all other than going to Oysterflex? Are leather straps going to be an option at all? I think there is still a market for those! I however love my 116515 on Rubber B

Love the WG but may just pick up the OysterFlex bracelet for my 116500LN and call it a day.
