Incoming ARRIVED. Amazing beauty...:)
As some may know, I had a 16613, which I dearly loved. It was a spectacular and special piece, but something about the 116613LB kept gnawing at me.
So, life is short, I said , "what the heck" and pulled the trigger. You only live once.

My thoughts:
1) For those on the fence, I say don't. GET it! It really is a special piece. The Bezel and the bracelet is separates this piece apart. Also, it feels heavier, chunkier which I love.

2) Dial: 116613 LB dial is LITTLE better , that SunBurst comes through and it melds so well with the ceramic bezel.

and finally . THANKS SOhails..:)


Now some pics:
