I disliked the thin subdials on the 12 at first but now the 11 dials just look fat.

I can’t believe I am saying this but the 11 looks terrible now, at the least the panda.

Same here. I’ve been staring at the 12 dials since its launch a year ago and now the 11 looks bloated lol.

Plus I’m nostalgic about the 90s 16520 dials with Zenith..

That's exactly what is happening in my head

Which is funny because when the 12 was announced I thought Rolex had gone crazy. Nope, they were right on track.

 

[aHero]

Everything about the 12 is just more refined. Except maybe the case/lugs.

 

[Karbon74]

what's the delay to source it approx, besides shipping I mean?

 

[aHero]

Probably depends who you buy from. I’m sure @CTime will be the quickest.

Storm is going to mock me to death when I buy this

Same here..it's like those songs you don't get at first and then can't stop listening to

Hahaha i told you, no one believes me untill they try 1265
New dials are much better and cleaner, elegant
Everything is too big in 1165 dials…

And don’t forget the asymmetrical lugs!

The subdials on the gen pop little more, and the 60 on the lower subdial of the clean is against the edge

To follow up on the 60 sub dial. Looking at gens, the 12 Panda dial graphics appear closer to the inner edge all around. Gen:

It looks really nice. Even the blue lumination looks very nice. And it runs like a champ. Chrono works silently and very precise, and after some adjustmens it runs with plus ~2Sec per day.

Does anyone know if stopping the large chronograph second hand anywhere but the reset position and just keeping it there, if doing this is bad for the mechanism?

It’s just in a stopped position, so there’s no wear and tear.
