You are probably correct. A 6mm would have been about the right size.That little 5.3mm hiding between the crown guards on my 16750 can be a a bit of a pain especially when you are winding and setting the date. The third position gets it out enough that it's OK when you are setting the time.

Looking at the stein vs KW is crazy. Everything looks huge and overdone. GMT triangle, fonts, bezel, it all looks sooooo "horsey" when you sit them side by side.

I agree. That huge crown is terrible. Not the diameter so much, but the depth. You could cut it in half and make two crowns out of that one!
I have looked at a fair number of homage watches over the past few years, mostly homages to the Rolex vintage models, and it just amazes me as to how many get the proportions wrong. One of the things that has made me such a huge MKII fan is while Bill isn't interested in building "carbon copies" of vintage watches, his proportions are so well done that the watches just look and feel "right".

Arthur, does the white on the dial match the white on the date wheel? Your first picture makes them look slightly different.

Sorry to take so long to answer. I believe the difference has to do with the dial finish as opposed to the DW. The dial has that wonderful "pearlescent" finish which is different from the DW. Different reflectivity. Not really noticeable at all when viewed in actual size.

Jake,
Probably a fair number of folks who are questioning their choices, both ways. Human nature, we always like what someone else has!! I too like the Black gilt, but I have a box full of black dial watches, including a Rolex 16750, and a Ocean7 GMT with a Red/blue sapphire insert. I just couldn't justify another Black dial GMT.
I really like your buddy's Rolex. Just too bad that Rolex won't produce the Pepsi ceramic in stainless steel. If they do, I would be sorely tempted to sell some watches and buy one, but the white gold will always be out of my price range. Just have to admire from afar.
