Icon20 Daytona
Can someone please tell me the differences between the Daytona 116503 & the Daytona 116523. I Know that one has polished lugs the 116503 & the older model has brushed lugs. I've been studying them carefully & I can't notice any other difference maybe the clasp. I have the newer model I'm just curious to find out all the differences

The racing bezel.
Choice of dials, specifically my favourite panda is no longer available on the new 116503.

No I have the Baton hour markers myself yes I also was looking at the Panda Dial but settled for the White Dial I think it's a lovely contrast with the Steel & Gold

I think your baton hour markers are on the bezel, that is the new racing bezel which is only offered in the new 116503.
Previous 116523 was not offered with the racing bezel, only PM Daytonas.

No hour markers on the bezel, but the bezels are very different, too.

I have the older bezel with the small dot markers.

I don't know, but the dot markers look more precise than the triangle base on the racing dial...
