Old vs New Daytona Pikachu?

[jed11]

Much prefer the new references...not just in this comparison, but across the Daytona line.

I think there's an argument for the older line besides lower cost:

- wears smaller
- less blingy (the bezel ring adds a bit of this)
- they don't have the "slab" case
- dial characteristics (subdial spacing, lume markers) are different

OF Daytona 11 and 12 series have the same case.

I’d be thrilled with either. But I’d probably pick the 12 if I had a choice.

You're right - I was speaking generally to the best above mine regarding all the upgraded daytonas.

Don’t be bothered with these comments. They tried acting “above” a silly nickname, by being a child. We have these idiots at work too.

Voting 11 series. I like the bigger hour makers over new Ozempic version.

I like the black outline of the hour markers, on the 11.

I slightly prefer the darker gold dial of the 11, versus the lighter gold dial of the 12.

I love the Glidelock dial I have on some other watches I own … but I am lucky in that the OysterFlex bracelet (non Glidelock) fits me perfectly, on another Daytona I own.

If I am offered the 12 from the AD, I would gladly accept it.

If I have to go Grey to get this watch, I think I would choose the 11.

I would get the 11 on the grey marker as they are about 10k cheaper. The glide lock for me is a game changer, it’s not worth 10k though. Unless it was my only watch and I was to daily it as a one and done then I would get the new version no matter the cost. The glide lock should be on all Rolexes that have a clasp with an easy link.

Whichever you can get your hands on first….that'd be my personal recommendation.
