I prefer the 116500… if you want a very nice 126500 new… rotor silenced at a good price.. tell me. :)
I might but at the moment I am at the other side of the planet 😁

I am just interested to know why you prefer the 11. This has been fighting in my head for months

it is a completely different watch.. more bigger and less comfortable. Yes the dial is very nice but I prefer the old case style.

For me, I prefer the 11 lugs and case profile if only it were 1-2 mm larger, like actually 40. The 12 still wears like a 39 compared to the GMT, I think because of the slimmer lugs..

11 case with 12 everything else would be my choice. Probably a pretty easy swap/build but it doesn’t bother me enough to go through the hassle.
I was actually thinking about doing that. Side benefit for me would be to also obtain the parts to make a 12 case and 11 everything else. Fastest mod ever - movement / dial / hands complete all go together and done.

Using a 116520 case with a 12 dial and hands would make a nice 5 digit wannabe. Both black dials for me.
