126519LN v 116519LN aka the ghost

[Nichie1]

Morning all

Just looking to see if anyone has seen or tried on the new 126519LN and what’s there thoughts and opinions are between the old and new reference.

Thanks

Not tried it on but the 116519LN (old) had symmetrical lugs and the same case shape (viewed from the side, lugs curving down) as the new version. So the changes are not as much as the Steel and YG changes.

The only other visual change is the bezel ring and slightly tweaked sub dials. I think the markers are slightly longer too.

Tweaked movement, I'm not that excited about the bezel ring but I think the glidelock clasp is a big win.

I saw the 126519 last Friday in Toronto. (Exhibition piece alongside a YG with diamond dial, and full YG with bracelet)

I showed some surprise when I pointed out being the new reference, which she replied that they had recently received the PM options for Daytonas.

I found the indices and the bezel change easily evident at initial eye-test. I liked the changes quite a bit.

I wouldn’t expect anyone who wanted the ghost to change their mind with the changes. Feels more like a tweak. I think the equivalent model in YG (126518LN) with the black subdials will feel more like a change without the black indices.

Own the 16, and like the looks and clasp of 26 better!

It looks great, but what annoys me is the length of the clasp compared to the 11651X

I would definitely like to see them side by side, as it is somewhere between the current model and the Sub in terms of length. For someone with a smaller wrist, this may just look goofy on me.
