I love the green shade of the LV bezel insert. Wish the LVc had captured the same color.

Beautiful watches - thanks for sharing

(If you took the strap off the 116610 and put it on the 16610 that would pretty much be my perfect watch!)

Thanks guys. I notice a lot of people have trouble deciding between the two. I thought the pics may help someone.

Like the shade of color on the old along with rhe contrast of the black dial. But, like the clasp on the new. Both are great.

New for me as I liked the dial (in all shades of light), ceramic bezel, case, and clasp better.

If I had the means, I'd get both. But this would do for now...

There is no doubt to me that the old case is more proportionate and balanced. I wish them simply had updated the clasp and movement.

The new one makes me appreciate the old one even more. Don't like the fat lugs on the new one, but like bracelet.
