Looks like 5 notches. It’s a good addition. The clasp itself is probably 5mm bigger to incorporate it.

It’s only when they’re side by side that you notice anything, they are really the same watch, to me anyway - and you wouldn’t go wrong with either. The metal band around the bezel looks very smart but it doesn’t change the watch.

Seems that way to me, too. I'm wondering if the OF straps for the 11 and 12 series will be (or can be) interchangeable.

Anyway, congrats on a real beauty!

Huge congrats, so pleased for you - one of the best. I also have the 116519 which is a stunning watch!. Waiting for a 126508 with same dial as yours. Love it!

Congrats and wear it with great health!

Fabulous duo. PM Daytona is a serious weakness for me.

Yep I think the better dials are on the PM models. Rolex know what they’re doing…

Massive congrats. I added myself on the list for this recently as well. Question, when you added yourself on to the list, did you have to specify the OF lengths?

Wear in great health!

Thank you. No comes about 6.5” fit I think but I need E&G as 8” wrist. For the White Gold I went to the service centre in St James, London and they sold me the G (£240) as it came with E&F. I kept the F.

This time the AD said they had some spare ones and offered to change it for me, which was much better. With the old one it took a bit of experimenting to get the right fit but new glidelock makes it a bit easier. E&G is bang in the centre of the adjustment range for me.

Cheers for that. I need D and F as I wear in a 4 and 6 link config so informed my SA of that. Hopefully it will come in that config already! I think most ADs have relaxed their PM allocation so they don't need head office approval anymore so hopefully it will all be good.

Enjoy!

Hope it shows up for you soon; but the wait is all part of the fun.

Titanium YM next for me but have a feeling that will be a long one.
