Thanks, you will like the green dial, I tried on both dials yesterday, and the green called out to me immediately, it had a playful look to it.

The black dial is classy and formal, tough choices!

I can't wait for more pics and further description of how you like the green!

Thank you sir, a while back I saw an ad in the papers, the combination of the green dial and gold case slowly but surely made its way into my mind, I thought I might not be able pull off wearing a full YG Rolex.

Visiting the forums tend to open up one's mind, so I figured I'll go for it, so far I'm quite pleased with the choice I made today.

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!

Thanks Nicholas,
I sometimes wear the 44mm to work and most recently the 422, to me its fun to have variety, but the classic 40mm Rolex goes well with any attire.

The 422 when on my wrist I felt its ok, not too large, but I get a lot of glances from perplexed strangers, in the business district during lunch hour. I normally don't care and wear whatever I choose in the morning.

As for the 40mm size you will probably get used to it quite quickly, when you find one that you really like.

The heft of the 116718 on the wrist is quite reassuring, you will feel it.

I hope to see you sporting a 40mm very soon, my friend!

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.

Thanks Stacee, the black one is classy! Congrats again!

Beautiful. I think you made the right dial choice, it will appear black at many angles. Congratulations

Thanks Matt, you are right about the dial, I just noticed it a couple of minutes ago, it changes!

Great watch
It's nice to have full gold as an option. I work mine in with the rotation but always for going out on the town or any other occasion.

Congrats on a beauty! I'm going to look for this at the AD. It looks great in photos, so I'm betting it's even more incredible in person!
