Incoming 116500 black dial

The wait is finally over! Picked up my black dial from local AD after a nine month wait. It's purrty.

Huge congrats! That's really spiffy. Enjoy it in the best of health. I'm about 15 years away on the waiting list but I'm getting closer everyday.

Thanks, everyone. I live in a small town, and this is the third 116500 that the AD has been allocated. I feel very fortunate to be able to get one.

The black dial version is much more stunning in the metal than in any pic that's on the internet. Anyone else discovered this?

To my eye, the black dial 500 looks best, and the White dial 520 looks best.
I've got the black dial coming in next 3 months, I absolutely go mad over gloss black dials.
I feel some people want the White dial because it commands a higher price, as opposed to what their eye really says. Anyway, horses for courses.
Regards
