Incoming - 126500
I’ve been after the new 126500 for some time. I loved it since it was first released. In particular, I found the outer bezel ring, elongated indices, and narrower subdials to make the watch feel more refined. The only thing I didn’t love so much was the now-symmetrical lugs as I like smaller watches.

I was able to add the white dial 126500 yesterday and absolutely love it. Highly recommend to anyone considering.

Congratulations. What do symmetrical lugs have to do with preferring smaller watches?

Thank you. The asymmetrical lugs mean that the watch as a whole was slightly smaller to the extent the right lugs were smaller than the left lugs. Now that the lugs are the same size, the right lugs are bigger making the watch wear slightly larger.

Looks great on you. I actually love the new case but prefer the old dial.
