Perfect watch in my book...really stunning! Too bad I'll never be able to get it, I'll have to settle for 2nd choice with the 116610LV or 116600.

This purplish/pinkish hue in pure sun light is great, reminds me of some beautiful slightly faded aluminium inserts, not as "agressive" as a brand new bright red/ shiny navy blue aluminium Pepsi insert, I would say more sober, and this "smoothness" finally fits better a precious metal case imho. BLRO's owners are lucky folks.

Exactly!
There is a built in fade or "patina" to this piece.
I could see whittling down to a two-watch collection, if/when I get one, to this and the 718 green.
