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?
