confession No2 aka I am also infected lol
Hi gentlemen,
one month ago I have decided to go with beautiful classic 16610 over "new bulky and ugly bumblebee" 116610. This decision had been praised by many of you and I have received many congrats to my classic sub. Nevertheless something was telling me to have a look at new sub when available and therefore I have called my AD here in Brussels to give me know when new 116610 arrives. Today he did and guess what happened....  rolex2.jpg but aren't they beautiful when ticking-tacking each to other?

Well done.
You did the right thing. You saw the onset of a condition and quickly went to the clinic (cleverly disguised as an AD) saw the Doctor and got relief.

Two beautiful watches! I have to be honest and say I still prefer the 16610 but wouldn't turn the new one down ;)

. Concerning weight...maybe some 15-20 grams but when I put it on the wrist I couldn't feel the heft at all. I assume that new bracelet and glidelock clasp are somehow better "distributing" the weight....just my personal opinion. Honestly when I saw the pictures of new ceramic sub I was strongly persuaded that this bulky thing could never be my watch then I put it on the wrist and felt in love.
