Thank you.
Terrific side-by-side photography. The angle where I noticed the biggest difference in the case was when you had them next to each other in profile. It really illustrates how much bulkier the maxi-case design is over the more subtle earlier case.
fantastic video man! Great to see someone actually do, ACTUAL measurements. Really torn on this watch. I like to older reference in general across the board... even on the gold models where little has changed except for downgrades (IMO) of the dials. But the black in SS... honestly might be the best SS black daytona ever.
You have great eye for details 👍 I have been waiting for somebody who understands watch design to do detailed side by side comparison video from new Daytona. And also even though I was a bit scared of the outcome before watching this video I am glad I got one of the last of old Daytonas from my AD
Great review as always. One thing I would like to add is, to change the time clockwise on 126500 you have to turn the crown down. And to change the time clockwise on 116500 clockwise, you have to turn the crown up.
@@jtorreblno you’re incorrect. Any of the 12xxx models have to have its crown turned the opposite direction to set the time as opposed to the 11xxxx models.
I have been on the waiting list for the last 10 years 😂😂 and it’s rolled over every time a new reference is out. Fun fact I was allocated a black steel one in 2009… and declined 😢😢
Just wanted to say I actually thumbs down'ed one of your videos because, frankly, I didn't believe this footage was yours; it just looked too... good. Like stock video. But after watching more I realize that you in fact are this person. I can't find the original downvote but I have upvoted several of your other videos to make up for it, and subscribed. Great work friend.
You always do the best comparison videos, very detailed. I do wish you had included the case size of both on your calipers, as I thought the new one is bigger than the 38 something mmls of the old one and not the same as you stated. Great vid!!
Thank you. I did cover the case/bezel size in the review of black dial Daytona I did a few weeks ago. But in hindsight, I could have included side by side in this video too. Thanks for the feedback.
Les deux modèles les plus désirés dans leurs catégories 👏🏼👏🏼 Panda en 116500 plus recherche et mieux fini que le nouveau panda 126500 En revanche le cadran noir en 116500 est peu désiré … subdial bien trop imposant et non harmonieux .. alourdissant l’ensemble .. en revanche Rolex a magnifiquement réussi le cadran noir en 126500 dont les experts les plus reconnus assimile au modèle inconique 116520 … vous disposez donc des deux meilleurs modèles sur cette vidéo et je parie que ce n’est pas un hasard ! Bravo à vous ! 👍🏻 pour vos videos
@@trypta9chacun ses goûts mais je peux t affirmer l'inverse est immensément plus majoritaire. La preuve les demandes sur le marché gris et leurs prix ? En noir c'est le 126 qui est plus proche des modèles iconiques 116520 en 116500 est trop blingbling d'ailleurs le prix est le plus faible et le nombre de modèles en vente est très très important. En revanche le panda blanc est la star des stars .. à l'inverse du nouveau modèle que peu de personne recherche (les prix sont quasiment identiques entre le modèle 116 en 2023 et le nouveau 126 qui se vend à 2000 euros près alors qu'il vient de sortir il y a peu .. les collectionneurs et les experts sont aussi unanimes .. le modèle black Daytona 116 est peu apprécié car trop brillant trop sport les sous cadrans sont grossiers et trop brillants ce qui donne un look sport pas élégant .. à l'inverse du nouveau mais chacun ses goûts. Peut être es tu détenteur du 116 en noir 😂 je ne vois que cette explication pour défendre l'indéfendable 👍🏻😅
@@user-vy6sv6og1v i prefer the 126 in white because the white is more muted, doesnt strain the eye like the 116 white. And the ring above the ceramic bezel is suited to the white dial, more of reminiscence of paul newmans big red. Im guessing you have the 116 white? Lots of people are updating it to 126 reference model though, as its more balanced dial. The 116 black will be at the same price as the white 116 as many more 126 will be available to the market.
@@trypta9je dispose du 116 blanc et du 126 noir ( achat boutique ) je ne suis pas là pour vous convaincre mais pour vous donner mon avis et celui de l écrasante majorité nous nous entendons ceci dit sur un point c'est sur le 126 est réussi en noir .. encore une fois chacun ses goûts et le marché et les experts amoureux de l'horlogerie parle .. Paul Newman 6264 c'est le 116 .. justement si vous aimez le modèle 126 en blanc c'est que vous préférez les modèles plus "discret" si c'est le cas faut s'orienter vers la 116520 et vendre le modèle qui n'a de cesse de baisser en desirabilite ..
@@user-vy6sv6og1v i did not own any of the 116 and 126 yet 😊 im unbiased. I owned 116520 long ago, the bezel is just a scratch magnet. Ceramic bezel is nice touch, 116 white is just too much contrast, while the black blended better. The 126 white is better because the thinner black subdial and less contrast white dial made the overall watch balanced.
I wish you had tied it all to the original question at 0:43 ("so how did Rolex achieve this in the Sub") or answered it explicitly. I felt like we were left hanging. I suppose we should extrapolate what you were saying about the Daytona to the Submariner, guessing what applies and what does not, but I did not feel like solving a puzzle first thing in the morning. Other than that, very well produced and narrated, as usual.
Nice review, I already have the old Panda dial so I put my name down for the black dial for the new model, I think it looks better than the new panda. Can't wait for the AD call!!
Beautiful Daytona models knowing how difficult they are to get from the Rolex authorized dealers to me it’s worth to pay around twice Msrp on the pre owned market to me anyway I mean how many years of loyalty and spending history does one need to be offered one and it’s not guaranteed that one would be offered for sure and because of that uncertainty they are worth the premium one pays double Msrp and the watch is worth double Msrp if one decides to sell it in the future so in my humble opinion it’s priced correctly at fair market value. Thank you for sharing this video I love it thank you for showing the watches and not just your face taking about the watches I want to see the star of the show THE BEAUTIFUL WATCHES THANK YOU AGAIN CHEERS!!!!!❤🎉😊
Grey dealer right here 😂 only idiots play the game ADs created. If u r not that rich or famous and you been played to get this watch, you should take a step back and think if who’s the dumb f . lol . When the world awakes, rolex reputation is going to break. Just like the journey that the world world has created to get the next rolex, the another journey has quietly begun
Hi Hafiz. Thanks a great video, as always. You said on the stand alone review of the 126500 that the crystal is 30.3mm, but in this compar. video it it suddenly 29.70mm on the 126500. Which number is correct? And are both the 116 and 126 38.7mm in total diameter? Thanks. :-)
Beautiful video as usual. I have the black and white dial Zenith Daytonas and the 116500 black dial. Really enjoy them all! Hoping to get the call for the new white dial 126500 in the next 10 years.
Attention en cadran blanc je suis complètement d’accord avec toi .. en revanche ….. le nouveau cadran noir … est sublime et plus proche du modèle iconique en comparaison a l’ancien modèle 116500 en noir uniquement .. modèle à suivre de très près .. en 126500 black .. peu de modèle sur le marché et honnêtement pour l’avoir essayé elle est bien plus belle que l’ancien cadran
Newer one is a lot better but not perfect. Improvements should be = - color bezel - all brushed surface (like a submariner or OP) - and of course to make sense for a racing watch = TITANIUM. For the only reason the racing world is all about weight! - of course a full brushed jubilee bracelet made of titanium would be astonishing
