I sold my 116622 to pay for this and I can tell you that the case is significantly different.

From the top it looks mostly the same, but the sides of the case and the back of the lugs are very different.

IF they offer it on bracelet, it would require a whole new end link, and we all know how glacial Rolex is when if comes to change.

Very tempted by one of these. I need to go into central London to hunt one down to try. I imagine the rubber strap will make it very comfy to wear but I wonder how the rubber will age, whether it will keep the nice matte tone or become shiny like the Rubber B ones do?

Beautiful shot! I tried one of those on the other day at my AD... Such an awesome watch! I'd love to have one in the next couple years. I would like it more if it came with a bracelet, but I doubt I'd like the price tag..

Photo shot handheld, backyard, on my grill. As always.

Dirty or not...

Great pic of a great watch

Agreed on all counts.

The most comfortable watch I've ever had, bar none.

Such a beautiful watch... I had forgotten about this model, all the other recent releases have somewhat stolen the limelight, but this is definitely a beauty.

Great pic btw.

I won't lie, it still looks weird to me after years of nothing but SS, but I'm getting used to it.
The feeling that I'm wearing a Michael Kors or a Nixon is slowly going away. Lol
