Compared to my 116500, I do prefer it, but not by much. Both are beautiful and have their own attributes. I like the thinner indices and subdial rings better, as they look more refined and open up the face more. While I know the face is not larger (and I’ve even heard a few hundredths of an mm smaller?), the illusion is that the face appears bigger. I also like the thinner ceramic bezel, as it too looks more finished, although I’m pretty neutral on the metal ring around the bezel and I do worry about damaging it. The case on the 116500 is more curvy and I think that creates a sexier look, but this is really only noticeable in profile. The asymmetric lugs of the 116500 never bothered me. I think both watches wear similarly. On the whole it is a nice evolution, but frankly, all Daytonas are pretty special.

Thanks for reading and happy Saturday!

is it worth trading in the 116500LN plus 10K in cash for the new 126500ln?

Not for me they are so similar, maybe 3/4K on top if you really prefer it but that would be my limit.

Really ? I heard the 116500 is more beautiful than the 126500.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - lots of people prefer the 126500 and lots of people prefer the 116500.

And let us be honest - even though we make a big deal out of the small changes on this forum, it is basically the same watch

I didn’t have to trade my 116500. I just had to buy the Cartier and I was allowed to buy the 126500. Not a terrible deal?!?

Cmon. joking right?. All this for a PP 6102, but a Daytona?

Tank that the wife wanted anyways to get a SS Daytona on the spot? I’d do it.
