Black dial Daytona 116500ln vs 126500ln

[Big Tex Rolex]

The more I look at these comparison photos, the more I get why Rolex made the right side lugs smaller (than the left side lugs) on the 116500 …

I think “balance” is the term Rolex uses, and I would have to concur.

On paper it sounds odd that the lugs would be different sizes, but in practice, that’s a good look.

Picked up the new black and white 126500 and they are all together a different experience to the previous generation. Still love the last gen but this new version is a hitter and feels a good bit more substantial on the wrist.

Does the new version have thinner hands, like the 16520, than the old version?

I can’t make my mind up.

Both references have it’s own beauty and quality. I personally like the new one more in black but wouldn’t kick the white one out of the house either. I also think that any new reference always feel more refreshed because it is new. We’ve been looking at het 116 series from 2016 so anything new is always refreshing. Both are great watches in my opinion.

Let's not kid ourselves, both dials in each of the references looks amazing, but if we are getting specific enough to start talking purchase decision making, then 11 white and 12 black.

I honestly think the new one is so much better
