New watch day...

126500ln...

Never warmed up to the stainless 116s, although I did have the WG & RG full band. This new ref is perfect!

Amazing!! Congrats!! What did you not like about the 11 series out of curiosity? Guessing the asymmetric case? I really liked the CD finish on the sub dials of the black dial. I think these are gone on the new 12 series and instead just have the polished sub dial surrounds? I do like the new outer metal ring on the bezel especially on the black dial.

The lugs definitely, which is why I went with the PM references. It just always seemed a little tinny and a touch small to me. I know the dimensions on the 12 are essentially the same, but it wears larger and just feels and looks more luxurious. I had similar feelings when I switched from a 116 sub to the 126 version. The updated designs are just more refined.

Makes sense. Looking forward to seeing a 12 series in the flesh
