Incoming!
Guys - as some of you will have seen last night, I was looking for a green watch. I had the 5 digit already reserved and had a last minute panic that I should be buying a hulk for the money. I needn't have worried. Picked the 16610lv up today and am in love. What was interesting is that in natural light it does shine a lot and in many ways it's not dissimilar to the hulk. I will say though that I am loving it and have the watch I wanted since I saw on a bloke in France.
As for the watch itself, for my money it hasn't been worn too much. The bracelet has no stretch, the stamp on the clasp is pristine and the clasp itself is nice and tight. The crown guards appear in decent shape. I'm absolutely delighted and thank you for your comments on my earlier post. While I understand it's my decision, it's nice to be able to throw it out there with those that have done it either way. Most importantly my wife approves (she wasn't keen on the hulk for some reason). Anyway, a few pics and one of the remaining trio. I love them all and currently have no wish for anything else as don't really want pm and nothing in the Range that takes my fancy. The only one I can see is a 16710 at some point, but that will be a while - I'm buying the wife one next.! Cheers, Steve      Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Congratulations Steve, it's always important to get buy in off the wife.
Mine informed me last week that my BLNR does nothing for her and I should move it on

Nice one Steve, and if that is drawing you into the kitchen more often I'm sure the missus is happy too.
