I own the first one. I have not yet held the second one in my
hands. I can just tell from detailed comparisons online, The case of the previous one is rounder and perhaps more refined. The caliber got some technical upgrades for instance the chronergy escapement.
116500 or 126500
When something new comes onto the market, many people naturally gravitate toward the newer model, while owners of the previous version tend to prefer their older product. But now, after several years, which one would you choose today if you could only hav...
116520 or 16520 for me
There's something magic about the steel bezel and the white dial that the modern model fails to capture.
126500. I slightly prefer the 116500 case but, for me,
the leaner indices and the metal bezel ring of the 126500 are major improvements. Cheers Marc
Here’s my 116500 👈 and my friend’s 126500 👉.
These are very similar. But I personally prefer 11 bc it looks like it shows more pop. But honestly both are amazing. ...
Owning all four of the two sets
I believe that the 11 is sportier and 12 more "elegant". 12 is my age, 11 the age of my kids
I have the 116500 so that’s my
choice. If offered the 126500 from my AD I’d take it and most likely sell the 116600. That said, I would not seek the newer one on the secondary market. It’s just not worth the upgrade to me.
12 for me...but just slightly
leaner indices, bezel to me look more appealing, but we're splitting hairs here, at least for me. Both are great!
Both have too many lines of text at 12 o'clock, imo.
Aside from that, I don't like the steel bezel rim on the new model. The thinner indices are nice, but I still prefer the older version. That said, I'm not a Daytona fan at all, so my opinion probably doesn't matter much. Best, Emmanuel

Both are very great !
I had the last 4 white Daytonas. The 116500 is perhaps ultimately very endearing with its small "defects", the sub-meters too big and the case more clumsy. The 126500 is just perfect, the edge of the steel bezel, the case with lugs that eats the wrist bet...
While I tend to
Like the larger subdials with all the other improvements this one wins hands down ...
