Now that I am home from my trip and have had a chance to look at the watch more closely I am still impressed by the quality. I have noticed one flaw though. When you take off the bracelet, on the watch case there is the model number engraved. On this watch I would have assumed it should be 114060 but its actually engraved with 116610LN. I may be wrong and those more knowledgeable than me please chip in but the model number is for a sub with date. A small issue and not one that most people would ever see, I suspect that they have made a number of watches with dates and just changed the face and dial. Either way I'm still happy.
