Clean 126500 Daytona review

[m5smg2]

Wow those are some really nice shots. Thankyou so much for such a detailed review. I am also looking to buy the Clean version of the Black Daytona. It would be great if you could recommend the dealer you picked up yours from. Thanks in advance and enjoy the beauties.

Thanks. The dealer is the first part of the review

Thinking in ordering this new Daytona, just hesitating on dial color… on 116520 models I prefer black without doubt, but on these news, with ceramic bezel it hits different. Need to try both

BTW, thanks for the review!

You believe this guy. He uses my review word for word for his YouTube vid

Hello everyone, thanks for the great content ! I really love that watch and consider buying the Panda version (126500).
Can you please confirm the Clean factory version with SH4131 is the best I can get ?

The TD EU stock is offering it currently at 890€, a bit expensive compared to other TD. Views ?

Panda with a gen crystal and gasket added

Zero blue tint, it’s absolutely stunning white!

I really hope they fix the boxy indexes and (on the black dial) the text who's way too closer from the 3 sub-counter border.

That’s looking great. Would you take a profile pic to see the crystal height with the gen gasket please

No boxy indeces, it was only on first batch, and on some new ones but most of them are perfect now

Do you think it makes a significan difference? I compared my CF 126500 panda to a gen 126500 panda, and I think the crystal was 95% similar

If you have extra money than yes, other than that, who will ever see the difference in real life

I agree with you. I can’t remember what the old Xtal looked like tbh, but I know that this Gen looks better from photos and naked eye.

I just prefer to Franken watches so if you have the extra money it’s worth it in my eyes.

Of course gen crystal will always be better. But is it $500 better than the new Clean crystal

hard to say! I’m biased I love it!

At the end it all boils down to what’s $500 for you.

Mate, black dial is my favorite one but the subdial are flawed, the text is almost cropped by the border and theses 3, 6, 9 index are square and not rounded at all, it's not a gen OK, but clean can do it better without problem with a new iteration.

For now I would opt for a 116500, this will let the time to clean to correct this 126500

Is this the same crystal and gasket that was used for the 11 series? Asking for a friend...

I have a watch and i had both versions with boxy markers and more polished more genlike markers and i know what im saying,
From my knowledge they had 2 suppliers for markers and the newer ones are softer shape
This is gen for your reference, and last 2 pics are mine
Cant show you better in the house light
