Swapped….116519 for 116519
So while I really like the steel dial 116519, I’ve always really loved the black dial 116500, but I am a big PM fan if available in certain configurations.
So this combined the best of both worlds. I know it’s not the most popular WG OF pick here on TRF….but I like it for me. The diamond markers are not necessarily my first choice, but they’re a nice touch for the WG version and they are subtle. Took me a bit to find a new one, but finally did. YES… stickers were taken off after pics :) (Still waiting to see the meteorite dial on this one as well) |

Looks good I'm trying to get a YG w/ the black diamond dial but the grey prices are crazy and my AD said they can't order it.

Congrats. It actually looks better than I thought it would with the diamond markers. It’s probably because of the black dial and bezel. Looks very cool in my book.

USUALLY I can't stand diamonds on men's watches. BUT.... they look fantastic on this one! I think it's the combination with the rubber that tones it down nicely.
Many congrats. It's a fine looking piece. |

Looks great with the diamond dial Richard
What’s your first thoughts on the oysterflex, I know you’re used to wearing PM’s on bracelet. |

You know what, I much prefer the diamonds against the new rounded indexes.
