The metal bezel ring around the ceramic insert adds a nice flashy detail. I have a black 116500 and a white 126500. I like the newer model a bit more overall. Enjoy it! Daytona is my favorite Rolex model.

I’m with you. I prefer the black dial. Very Darth Vadar-esque. The updates to the 12 series are a huge improvement and elevated the watch in my opinion. The gold oysterflex model speaks to me.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who congratulated me on the latest addition to my watch collection.
I thought that perhaps I should explain what convinced me to buy the 126500LN black dial Daytona, despite feeling underwhelmed after trying on the previous generations of Daytona. 1) steel ring around bezel 2) non-concentric sub-dials 3) bolder, thicker engraved fonts on bezel 4) hash marks broken up by triangle pointers 5) text on bezel is wrapped circularly I/O straight inline 6) sub dials are easier to read, silver I/o grey 7) symmetrical lugs 8) longer & sharper crown guards Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Something looks a little weird on the lugs, did you add protective plastics?

Leave them unscrewed. They are just nuts on a threaded rod used as a door stop so you can't press the buttons. They provide nothing for WR.

Congrats, by far the best looking SS Rolex in the catalogue. Old reference seems outdated now but still has its charms.

Beautiful, I much rather prefer the newer models. They really went back to the earlier zenith look.

It’s still waterproof if not actuated (even by an accident bump) while subject to water pressure. Rolex recommends against leaving them unscrewed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
