Great looking watch...

I love that retro look and classic Arabic numbers..........

I fell in love with that dial when I first saw it... Unfortunately, if I get another watch, I'll have to buy another watch box..............

I like it very much. I'm not very familiar with this model. Is it a brand new one? Also, are the lugs brushed straight up and down to match the bracelet? That is what I'm seeing in the photos. Nice creamy and uniform look.

The 116000 was announced in 2008 I think and shares the same case as the datejust. The lugs are brushed straight up and down just like the bracelet
That`s one of the things I really like about this model, everything but the sides are brushed, very little bling.

A nice retro looking dial reminds me of the dials used by Rolex and many others back in the 1940/50s

I have a blue concentric dial OP. It's a sharp watch and underestimate. Enjoy it.

Phenomenal photography! Superb watch! You must be a professional photographer.

What camera/set-up did you use for those amazing pics?
