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.

Thank you! The OF is very comfortable, stays in place, and I like the fins underneath that give some room to breathe.

Nice pick up Richard! You buy watches almost as often as I buy sandwiches for lunch :-)

Enjoy it! It’s a beauty
