So last week, went to my AD to see the new pieces.

1) I liked the new Panda, but severely underwhelmed by the new black dial. I even wore my Black 116500LN & compared it to the new one in the pic.

2) Did not like the new green colour sky-dweller whatsoever. Looks insipid, almost washed out. Blue is definitely still King

Will try to post the pics

Where you able to see the new RG SkyD with Blue Green dial?

Just wondering on your thoughts of the dial in person?

Leox7899 · 7 June 2023, 01:17 AM

Why were wou underwhelmed by the new black dial? Not enough changes?

Nice piece but not for me. Prefer a stainless steel Sub

MRHENAUGHAN · 7 June 2023, 01:41 AM

Are you able to say where you saw them, my AD isn’t getting any in for a looksee

Thanks for sharing Jonathan. I'm liking the new Panda Daytona. That green SkyD is not the best I've seen. I'm really drawm to the mint DJ from last year though.

Linuxpenguins · 7 June 2023, 01:55 AM

The Blue SS SkyD is still the one for me!

Yes, agree. The initial pictures of the new Panda did nothing for me, but in the flesh it's lovely & has a realy vintage look to it.

100%

Green can't hold a candle to the Blue

samson66 · 7 June 2023, 02:07 AM

Did you notice the size difference between the old and new Daytona?

clubrcr · 7 June 2023, 02:09 AM

The new Daytona compared to your old one. Is that an optical illusion or is the new one that much larger?

New one felt lighter & smaller

It's got to be. It looks like the difference between a 39 and a 42 in that photo.

I agree, I have a 116500 and a 126610. The lugs and casebook are considerably larger. This looks very similar.

New one felt smaller & appeared smaller compared to the old one.

No haha. The bracelet on the left one is has a bunch of fingerprints and the one on the right looks pristine, so naturally assumed the one on the right is the newer one. I think it just to show that the changes are kinda minor and we can't really tell.

dkg1616 · 7 June 2023, 02:55 AM

Definitely agree on the Daytona…maybe these pics just don’t do it just if but think I prefer the 116500

I’ll be the minority….I love that green SkyD…

Gebbeth · 7 June 2023, 02:59 AM

The new Darth Vader (black dial Daytona) does nothing for me. But the white dial does have a more vintage, Paul Newman Daytona look. That being said, I think I like the older model better.

I don't mind the mint green Sky Dweller, and if there is a chance that it's not a good seller vs the blue, maybe they may be more available (wishful thinking, I know).

I wonder if it would have looked better with a non-sunburst pattern and in high gloss, perhaps a slightly darker shade.

slus · 7 June 2023, 03:30 AM

Should have packed calipers

New Daytona size looks good here
