I had an original steel 1116. Hateful thing with very tricky links to remove and replace, even my OB gave up on it. Maybe I was unlucky with my example and the new steel version will doubtless be much better made than the original but it wouldn't be my choice for the std Moonwatch. I think the middle section is just too short and makes it look unbalanced. I am curious as to why RJ didn't name check the steel 1116 in the article since that was the inspiration for the sixties gold version and presumably the 2021 steel reboot, but perhaps he wanted to concentrate on the gold side of things.
