The tribute to 6263 is an interesting idea.

However, in the 6263 the steel ring is there to protect the plastic bezel.

I agree. If the steel ring was added for the sole reason of balancing with the wider case, that would not be logical.

These are, of course, just personal observations.

I have not found this answer and am still searching for it all the time.

Both the 116500 and 126500 are great models, but the 116500 may have been too perfect.
