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. |
Wholeheartedly agree on the bold statement above :-)
But I never got used to the boat shaped hour markers on the 116500LN and much prefer the current = Zenith Daytona style markers. The Daytona I really want is yet to come.
