I suscribe to this thread too.
I own a 16610LV, and am still hesitating about this 116619LB.
Perhaps one day.. I am 30yo ; at 50 - 55, it could replace miss 16610LV.

Can any of you owners of this lovely piece inform me more on white gold? I understand it needs to be dipped in rhodium to keep the white shine. Will that need to be done at servicing for this watch or does rolex not do this or does rolex make this wg some how where this is not required? Also how does this watch hold up in terms of band stretch and scratches compared to steel? Thanks

You are talking about American WG. Rolex WG has Rhodium actually in the alloy, and is not plated with Rhodium. So it is solid WG all the way through.
