Daytona Question (Old Ref vs New Ref) 116XXX vs 126XXX

[D3R3K]

I think it also comes down to the preference of dials. All of the new 126 references are slightly different compared to the previous 116 references. I'm hoping to acquire a yellow gold OF Daytona. I prefer the newer reference for all of the dials except for the black dial.

I've tried on both versions and don't think there is a big difference in how the case shape feels on the wrist.

As far as the bezel differences go, I believe the durability of an all-ceramic bezel is a plus. The aesthetics are debatable as the precious metal bezel ring has a certain appeal.

The larger glidelock clasp of the 126 series has its pros and cons. It is bigger, so it will be more noticeable on the wrist, but you are getting more precious metal, and that adds some value. The infinite adjustability is the biggest pro in my opinion.
