I actually like the asymmetrical lugs as well, which were often referred to in Rolex print ads for the Daytona as a design detail and not a flaw to to corrected later. For the record, I was offered a 126500 and passed, though I’d happily taken it if I didn’t already have the 116500. I like my Daytona but it’s not one of my favorites. I actually far prefer my recent white dial Speedmaster Professional, which I realize isn’t a popular opinion on a Rolex forum.

Wow which 126500 did you pass up on? I’m assuming this was from an AD at retail.
