I know as watch collectors, we often find ourselves saying "what's next" after picking up our latest addition, but I really think with this watch, it would successfully scratch the itch and put me off looking at anything for quite a while. Thanks for sharing and congrats again!

15416CE is lower production (my guess is 1/2 or so vs 15407ST, based on C24 listings) and higher demand - it actually has the lowest price difference between a steel and ceramic model, as far as I recall. So, I decided not to push my luck and to focus on the 15407ST - it is only a question of time until the current double-balance wheel movement is retired, given that's it's 8 years old and based on the long-discontinued 3120 from 15300/15400 days.

Interestingly, I still think the bling factor is quite a bit higher for the 15407 vs the 15416, and I like the more colorful version of the movement in the 15407 better. Some eye candy below

Really wish I had the opportunity to snag this (15416 or 15407st), particularly given that it’ll likely be discontinued sooner rather than later.

My favorite RO of all time

Congratulations!
