There are a lot of excuses one can create for the change, but in the end no change was required because nothing was broken on the 116500LN.

The steel outer ring is an unnecessary embellishment that's an embarrassment!

This is just one view...

The 116500LN will go down as the greatest Rolex Daytona in modern history and is set to be the greatest all time Daytona.

I made a similar statement on the day of the 12 Daytona release. I said what I thought out loud, completely uncensored and the thread after 55,900 views still has legs. It’s great every likes what they do and hopefully gets to own their ideal Daytona.

I have both 11 and 12. The 12 is really nice in person.

I’m with you Steve. Not a fan of the outer ring, although the metal bezels aren’t too bad.

Imho, the outer ring, the new symmetrical lugs, and the new case shape were all downgrades.

I appreciate my 11 more and more each day. Glad folks are enjoying their 12s. All good. There’s a Daytona for all of us.

When I see the 126500’s metal ring, this metal ring comes to mind…..

Personally like the new metal ring at the bezel. Seems to give it a more polished, classy look
