Any chance of finding an unworn 5550p ?
After quite a bit of discussion over the last week or so (for which I am VERY grateful to all those who shared their advice), plus hours and hours of research, I've decided to begin my quest of an unworn 5550p. Is there ANY chance of finding one? And since this was an experimental model from the research team, does anyone know of any problems with this watch besides price? Thank you again for indulging me. This discussion board has been nothing short of enlightening.

Will 16220 Bezel Fit 116234?
Was hoping someone could help me answer this question. I have an 116234 with black concentric dial, Arabic markers, and white gold fluted bezel. The bezel is a little too blingy for my taste and I'd like to tone the watch down a little. I like the old engine turned bezel on the 16220. Does anyone know if this will fit an 116234? I've found a picture of a 16620 which looks the same as my watch, albeit, I guess the difference being the 116234 has the polished case. I think it looks pretty nice. Anyway, any assistance is appreciated.
