Contemplating 16613 LB Purchase

Hi all! I'm contemplating a local 16613 LB K Series. Thoughts on the watch itself?

Looks great.
If it's from a trusted seller, then Yes!

It depends on the price, sometimes you can spend a little more and get a 1166613 but either way they look great

I hear you about the 116 vs the 16 but for me my pref is the 16.

That's what I'm thinking too. Looking at it tomorrow. Will probably ask the dealer to take the case back off for inspection.

You may never wear another watch besides your bluesey but,
If you do buy a second watch you will have to wear 2 at a time!

The 16613 is a classic. If you'll notice, on the 16613, the marker surrounds and the hands are gold. Not so on the 116613.. also the date background on the 16613 is gold colored vs white on the 116613. I still like the ceramic versions though.
