I was blown away and massively surprised and appreciative to get the allocation on this one after only recently registering interest.

It will join my 116518LN that i received last year. I really appreciate having a Daytona of each generation.

I don't know yet. I suspect I will cherish them both and be able to find the right scenario to wear either piece. The Yellow gold on OF will always be a special piece as it was my 40th birthday present to myself and took a lot of saving up for.

The Panda is so versatile and will be something that I hope to wear daily if I can. It is going to be interesting to see how I get on with PCL as this is something I have struggled with in the past, preferring Jubilee, OF or fully brushed Oyster bracelet.

Congratulations !!!

If I could pick any 2 Rolex watches to buy / own tomorrow, it would be those 2 …
126500 White Dial
11 Series 6518 Gold Dial / Black Subdials (I prefer the 11 over the changes they made to the 12).

I am “Waitlisted” for both (now the 126518), and own the 116500 Black Dial.
I’m thinking about going Grey for the 116518, and holding out for the 126500 from my AD.

I was in the same boat too about the 116518 but the more I saw the 126518 in person I knew I preferred it. The 116518 is way more photogenic. The 126518 is better in the flesh imo. Overall I liked the cleaner look of the dial and the glide lock. The bezel ring is unnoticeable to be in most occasions but it does tie the watch together and give it a slightly larger appearance which is good for my 7 plus inch wrist.
