New Rolex daytona panda 126500LN vs 116500LN

[boltz]

I like the new one.

[rolexjackson]

Side by side I still prefer the white to the black dial. Although the current configuration in black is much better than the previous in black imo.

[twinfo]

The new one looks great

[LewisHamilton#2]

everyone here likes the new one, so the old one will be valuable in the longer term. using the Paul Newman theory in the 80s. everyone hated them

[Deppe]

With it being established that the new Daytona having the same case as the PM models, does the PM models have the rounded case similar to the old Daytona, or are the sides more slab sided, as some pictures of the new Daytona seems to suggest?

The new one is very nice but happy with mine.

I like the new one better because the got rid of those asymmetric lugs. Finally!

Agreed

[Dr. T]

New dial does look nice and more classic somehow, but is any else thinking that the new crown guards look a bit ugly and bloated?

For those who had the chance to see the new 126500 black dials : do the subdials still have the small circle guilloché style? It does not appear on the pictures but is clearly visible on the 126500 white dial

No snail tracks. They are matte silver and trimmed in a high polish ring like those normally found on PM Daytona dials.

The anticipation is killing me… can’t wait to see this thing in the metal.

[andreas0411]

old one for me. prefer the thicker subdials especially for the panda

[Madman37]

the new white daytona is better much better but old black daytona is much better then new black one. The new white daytona make the old one look like a cartoon item.

[worldofoyster]

In conclusion: For white dial, the 116500 is better. For black dial, the 126500 is better.

[illiguy]

116500 and 126500 both look great and both have plus and minuses

[Watchmanaz]

Let's be honest i would wear them both! The new one is very balanced!

[Reloaded85x]

New one looks much better in person IMO

I wouldn't trade straight across for either. I would consider adding a new white just for fun though.

The new Daytona’s dial looks more refined than the older. I like it better

+1 to this.

[macrowatch]

I was skeptical of the new bezel rings, but now having seen them in person, Rolex has won me over yet again.

Completely agree with you. But looks like most of the people prefer old white and new black

I just traded my old white for the new white one. Compare the 2
In person and you’ll see the new one wins. It’s more refined. Less bold but less circus wild.

I concur

[watcheeze]

Don't forget this one. Black dials with skyrocketing prices.
All Daytonas are great. There is no superiority.

126500 Daytona vs 116500 Daytona

What a shot that is. Old white and new black for me
