Incoming!!!!!!

This one is special to me

116519LN birth year watch for my young son. Will pass it on when the time comes

What more can I say

Would love to hear opinions on this vs the new reference 126619LN..

I prefer the larger indices and full ceramic bezel on the 116 series but do miss out on glidelock

Pics or it didn’t happen!

Have owned both but not at the same time to put side by side.

Honestly, makes little to no difference. Day to day, never noticed a difference.

In the pictures we are all picking out side by side what's different like shopping for TVs at best buy.

IRL, they look almost the same. They could have gone from 12-series design to 11-series design and we'd all be wowed.

The glidelock is also shorter than the sub. I've also never felt uncomfrtable with the easylink on the 11 series OF. Cool thing about the glide lock on the sub is that my wife can actually wear the sub if i size it way down. But, this is a shorter glide lock, so i don't think it'll reach the same.

I kept my YG black dial OF bc of the red hand. Will not miss the glidelock on it.
