New Grail... 116718 Green Dial

Picked up my last watch for a WHILE! All I can say is wow!!

The green dial is truly amazing. The clasp and overall weight of the watch is stunning. I also own a TT GMTIIC. The bracelet seems a little smaller (identical adjustments) for some reason. I can say that I am extremely happy with the new addition! I appreciate all of the threads on this piece.

Here is a quick picture.

That looks amazing! I just received my "golden grail" this morning, so I know exactly how you feel.
Wear it in good health!

A perfect pickup. It looks a little "snug" on you though.

Beautiful piece. I bought the TT GMT II C also but should have spent the money and gone all gold as I believe that is the best looking gold watch that Rolex produces. Congrats.

Great choice! The 116718 is the best looking YG model imo.
