Yes I did Karis...mixed emotions at first, not so much now. I will miss it. The 16610 is such a great watch and I had many great memories with it but I couldn't keep them both

I have no regrets.

Huge Congrats Paul

As you say the adjustable clasp is 1st rate.
I also agree with acce1999 (Anders) that the bezel gives this watch an amazing appearance at different angles & lighting conditions. In some instances it almost looks like a vintage Submariner with a grey bezel insert.

Anyway major congrats Paul I really hope you get great enjoyment from this fine piece.

Nice going from DavidSW

A few quick observations after only one day; The Glidelock lets you find the sweet spot. It can be adjusted in a matter of seconds for cold of hot temps as your wrist swells and starts to sweat as the day goes on.

The weight isn't noticeable over the 16610. The solid links make it feel very balanced.

I really like the anti glare on the cyclops. It does make a difference





Thanks for looking everyone
And the blue lume is cool looking! Wear it well.
