Sorry for the off topic with it being a two-tone, I'm just posting here a couple of pics of my #nwa 126523 for comparison purposes on the shape of everything except for the bezel

It’s beautiful. Congrats !

Thank you for sharing, good photos and review.
I guess is the white who takes the crown for now.

Anyway I’m pretty sure my eyes will not read properly the subdials

Ha yes. Actually reading time and sub dials is not why to get a Daytona lol. For me the black dial is as beautiful as the Panda

Which one is best repped /closer to GEN for the panda :
116500 CF v2
116500 BTF v3
126500 CF v1

Do you know if a steel bezel from 116509 would fit?

Thanks for the images. I think black is the one for me. I like the silver rings around the subdials.
Very good write up.

Now off topic, just for you …..It is A series, vietnam case the only rep part.

I find the last 2 photos of the black dial awfully hard to tell apart from gen.

Thanks. Me too. I knew I’d love the black dial, just not this much. It’s stunning. It will pair beautifully with your Porcelain white 16520

Wow they really knocked it out of the park. Still mad at Rolex for these tiny little subdials but Clean did a hell of a job.

Looking forward to having it in hand..

Fabulous review and pics bro. Also excellent followup to all the interested replies. Sadly I'm in the "subdial rings and hour markers are too small" camp. They were perfect in the 5 digit models, this just seems like a step back to me.

This is not meant to take away from the gorgeous reps, congrats on your new beautiful toys I know you and many others will be wearing these a lot. I'll probably cave and grab a LeMans or other solid subdial model when they come out. I do like the symmetrical case and the one size fits all shape, plus the bezel rim is cool.

Thanks for your post, a great read as always!

Nice shot!

Am I the only one who noticed that the crown of the dial is moved too far up?

Thanks brother KJ. I hear ya. You're no stranger to the WG models, so solid sub dials are a natural transition. You had me at Le Mans
