Well I finally got it, the 116619LB..

So I was thinking about it for a day after my AD called to inform me one had arrived yesterday.

I went to the AD a couple of hours ago, and here it is, my new pride and joy.

First thing I noticed was the weight, and the tone of the bracelet looked different from SS, creamy silver.

Thank you to all forum members who posted beautiful and enabling pics, and thanks for reading!

My usual pic style...

There is no confusing that beautiful watch with a SS version. Incredible picture capturing the color in a very neutral environment showing it's true beauty.

Congratulations on acquiring such a spectacular piece!!
