Correct.

I chose this piece for the balance of Black and Everose but in hindsight I would have preferred the Chocolate dial, maybe.

I prefer the new 12. I didn't like the black markers at all when I saw them in person.

That would be my favorite combination. But white dial is not very easy to read.

Incredible! My new favorite, but Rolex spoiled it in the m126518ln-0004 version. Your m116528ln-0047 is absolutely beautiful. So many things right with older 11’ Paul Newman dial, including:
(1) Serif font - new one has block letters
(2) Lemon subdials with snail rings - new one has matte gold subdials
(3) Black subdial hands - new one has gold hands
(4) Red chrono hand - new one has gold hand

The Ghost is insane in person. Hands down my favorite one, so elegant yet it pops with its sunburst dial.
