I’ll offer my congratulations to you, imagine you are buzzing over the moon with a beautiful watch, was there any reason not going for the Panda? I doubt it matters either way deep down, well done .. I am a massive fan of the 116500 … that’s my personal choice I’ve made .. looks great on …

Just aesthetic choice... not a huge fan of white dial watches. I've tried them a few times and they don't stay in the collection long. Oddly enough, while I love the black dial on sports watches, I just can't do it on Datejusts. The only ones of those I've kept have been silver.

I suppose the same is for me with the older 116520, I don’t like the white dial version and the black dial with the silver sub-dials looks so much better
Enjoy your watch - it is by far one of the best Rolex does, Daytona hits every point for me ..

Great watch. I love the 1265 series Daytonas. I didn’t like the smashed hour markers of the 1165 series.

I agree.

The 116500 white dial looks good but I prefer the black panda dial.

Definitely a reference worth checking out. I'd like a white gold version, basically the LeMans without the vintage dial or red on the bezel. If they used the dial from the oysterflex white gold, that would be perfect.
