Thanks! This isn’t a reference I have given much thought until recently, the 116719 has always been my grail piece.. I agree, I think it would really round everything out.

Hmmm...tough one. Both great watches, just depends on which direction your collection is going.

I can only say the sweet spot for me has been the 228239 with the BLRO in steel to complement it.
