126500LN white dial Wednesday

I picked up this new model today - and I like the changes that were made compared to the 116500. It is more elegant in total appearance imo, thus better suited for aged people like me. 😅 The black dial will come as well soon for my wife, so this time no n...  

thanks - it took some time for the replacement of the 116500

this is the first my AD sold and the second he received (he has got a display only / show-around model). I like that the dial color is not that white as its predecessor - and my wife wanted black as it wears smaller by sight

I prefer the new reference much more than the previous one as well!

Optically a bit bigger, and much, much more legible! Congratulations enjoy in great health…

subdials and markers are smaller/thinner now

somehow the dial is not visually that "full" anymore - I can read it better than the predecessor

Agreed, that’s a notable difference when I compare with the older one.

It’s impressive how little “tweaks” can have such big impact.

Very nice 👍🏻 and congratulations 🎊

I didn’t ask for this new version in steel since I have both the prior version. Reasons being a little shy and not sure if I need another one but I do agree the new versions are more refined and slimmer. Here are my 2 oysterflex versions, RG older, YG new...  

Oh no…please 🙈, you meant Justin 😬

I know you have both, for your sons…lucky them 👏🏻

Advance congratulations on the LeMans, don’t think I will ever get that call. I’m just hoping to get a Pt Daytona to round up the theme.

Your AD loves you, so no need to be shy if you really wanted one (or both).

The question is, which would you actually wear of the steel options?🤔 I’m debating the same myself, but don’t want to just have for the sake off having. Plus I don’t like the thinner subdials as much since it seems to clash with the protruding crown/pushe... 

I'll leave it to fate....but I won't be declining if my AD decided to allocate one to me and get the call :))

I don't need to choose, just rotate them equally and enjoy wearing either version. A platinum version will be nice.

I like your approach👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

That’s why you deserve the variety, because you appropriately rotate, whereas I’d fixate on the one I like the most.

Looks great Nils

I got text about a white dial rolex this am, too. If it fits (42mm) will take it home. 👍

very cool, Kev!

Looks great. Glückwunsch.
