Not sure what a baby le mans is but only buy it if you really want it to wear.

But the Le Mans has white sub dials and has a sapphire case back and an 18kt white gold bracelet, this is nothing like that. This isn't even on a solid bracelet, it's on a rubber strap.

It’s the Daytona that looks the closest to the Le Mans. White gold, ceramic bezel, black panda dial.

I think it’s too dark tbh and the skinner indices on the black dial look funny to me. The black dial actually has the sunburst which is cool but overall it’s very dark. When I want a reverse panda look I prefer the YG PN.

It’s an age thing, old people usually confused, the watch you’ve shown is a beauty but if you always wanted the silver ghost dial might be worth holding out for, or at least try on see what you think …

I don't get this..... Surely it's your decision and the tastes of another shouldn't come into play?
You'll get some saying yes and some saying no so what good will it do! Sounds like youre unsure. That's probably the answer you should go for. |

Man, when you refer to this watch as the 126519LN, it sounds SO bland and awful
But when you call it the Baby Le Mans… baby that’s what I’m talking about! It becomes EXTRA COOL!!! |

I don’t care about the names.
This variant looks incredible, personally one of my favorites. I’d buy for sure |
