Yes, the dial is matte and extremely well done, even under a loupe!

I just took delivery of this fine BP piece from Andrew... As I've said before, I'm not really a Rolex enthusiast, but this has definitely changed my feelings. Previous experience with Subs and SDs was that they were too small and light for me, but this is a whole different beast! It feels very substantial on my wrist, but not overbearing... a perfect fit. The bezel is really well done, with 'platinum' hued indices and the pearl seems perfect. The dial is very high quality and all the markers are flawless; Lume is bright and even. The crystal sticks up a bit from the bezel and the edge of it is beveled beautifully. I really love the bracelet, as it's super comfortable with the glidelock clasp. I might go for a Rubber B strap with this clasp down the track just to tone it down and tool it up a notch or 2 :-) Maybe some experts can chime in on the photos, but I can't flaw this, especially for under $250

Nice watch! It's probably started to patina already :-)

I believe you 'could' call them platinum...

Yes, it is... I really don't know much about Rolex, and never was able to really like one on my wrist... but this particular model is beautiful and the quality is fantastic. It's extremely comfortable with the glidelock bracelet and not too small like the 5513 I tried to love.

Oh oh!!! I think I just got the bug with this 116600 from Andrew! :-O

It doesn't look that great on Trusty's site either, but then again, I can't see for [censored]

Still on my wrist... I've been downsizing after many years of Panerai... there was a time when I thought this was too small to wear, but I'm so glad I kept it :-)

ok, uploads are working now :-)

I get an error when uploading my photo, but I've been wearing to for 17 years :-)
