Thanks! Yes, I thought the classic reference was the way to go. It really is a sweet spot I feel between design and modern (ish) tech!

Thanks everyone!!! Loving the new watch and looking forward to a new decade of my life!!!

One observation I have so far about the 114270 is that quality seems far off from my 116610LN. I had heard about the bracelet but I was pretty surprised overall.

I am loving the watch and I’m so grateful to own it. Maybe buying them in reverse wouldn’t have been as shocking lol
