Daytona 126539 replica

Daytona has gone through many detailed changes over the years and has always attracted many watch fans with its stylish design. The old Ref.116500LN belongs to the 6th generation of Daytona. It’s a model with great value and status. Even though it’s a chronograph, its design is simple and elegant, making it suitable for any occasion. Its white dial, in particular, has won over watch fans of all ages. Even though it’s been discontinued, it will likely stay popular as a highly desired model.

Ref.116500LN was made from 2016 to 2023, when the new Ref.126500LN came out. This model had a relatively short run in Daytona’s history. Ref.126500LN and Ref.116500LN look quite similar. Here’s a look at the differences between Ref.126500LN with a steel white dial and the old Ref.116500LN.

When it comes to bezels, both models use ceramic bezels, which are great for viewing and very durable. The new model has a metal ring added to the bezel, which makes it easy to tell apart from the old model.

For the dial, the thickness of the time scale and the size of the sub-dial’s outer ring are different. Ref.126500LN has a thinner scale and a smaller outer ring, while Ref.116500LN has a thicker scale. This subtle change makes the panda dial look a bit nicer overall.

Another clear difference is the [SWISS MADE] mark at six o’clock on the dial. The new model has a small crown between the two words, a feature that’s also found in some other current models.

Also, the design of the lugs shows a recent trend at Rolex. Compared to Ref.116500LN, the lugs on Ref.126500LN are steeper and shorter. The lugs on the old Ref.116500LN are asymmetrical from the front, while the new model has a symmetrical design. The lugs on the 1165 series gold watches also have this design, so it’s more like the old gold watches.
