126500LN or 116500LN? I went for…

[MY-WATCH]

it depends if the new daytona will go with same design for long run
then the older one probably will be a little thought after, it is reflected in the prices right now some how
as the 115 had a short run including the pandemic perior of less production

The differences aren’t that stark to have such an extreme contrasting opinion between the two.

I love em both, but like my kids, I may have a favorite….

I feel the same way about when people get angry about the VTNR leftie - it's the same watch as every other GMT, just upside down

I just swapped my black dial 126 for the white dial 116. For me in the 126, the black dial with the silver accents just works so well and 'feels' more sophisticated and refined. I also own the 116 black.
This doesnt seem to translate as well into the white dial for me and although the silver edged bezel adds some elegance I felt the 116 Panda had more presence.
The other thing that swung it for me is that most of my collection has a silver, black or coloured dial. The white dials, in the watches I like, are rare and so it made sense. For me, the swap made total sense.

I agree fully, there is something about the white dial contrast against the black it is really sharp contrast ..

Confused. You like the 126 black but traded it for 116 white?

You wild for that. Black 126 is amazing and so cool. More refined and better looking than its predecessor

Good spot, amongst many other factors
