If you don’t mind me asking, which AD was this? My local told me the new SKD won’t be about for a while 😞

The 116500 blows the new Daytona away.

New one felt smaller & appeared smaller compared to the old one.
I should read the threads. Yours is so clean, I figured it had to be the new model

SIZE … 116500 vs. 126500

I saw a review on YouTube (sorry, I don’t have the link), wherein he measured the size of both …

116500 = 38.88 mm (which is the same as my 116500)

126500 = 39.88 mm

I'll say the new black Daytona looks a little sharper but I still prefer my 116500.

Thanks for the info,

So a whopping 1mm

I cant speak for everyone else but is 1mm that big of a deal? 1mm is a debit card or 10 sheets of paper according to Google

Just sayin...

Display models at ADs do indeed have movements nowadays, in the U.S. anyway. They just have some kind of "block" inside that prevents the movement from working. I've heard this from numerous ADs.
