The 126500 seems pretty chunky, has it lost some of the elegance?

Or the opposite, they all say the new design is more elegant vs the old model more sporty
Because of that lugs shape and steel around the bezel…all precious metal before had lugs like this (except some yellow gold models)

Agreed - 126500 is more on the elegant side while 116500 is sportier. Damn this thing has really grown on me. Only question for me is whether to swap to a deep crystal or leave as is. I know CF xtals got better on the GMT, but it’s always been a no brainer to do a deep crystal for the 116500 CF pandas

I bought the one that’s made in Japan and it fits perfectly, did you get the same one?

Not my watch, but I believe that it is the German Version from Custom Watch Concepts.

Did yours add any thickness to the back of the watch?

Honestly…. Deep is too much clear and have that little blueish hue on some angles (maybe because of the AR they use) , so removing the top AR you will remove that hue on top and will be more genlike clarity (i have done this to my 116500) but still have that blueish tint to it on some angles while cf crystal is a little less clear than deep but doesnt have that blueish hue… i think the best would definetly be the gen crystal

And i again i dont like how deep gets scratches within some time and it is not genlike spec so removing the top AR layer is a must imo …when you remove top layer here is a result on 116500 blacky vs 126500 with stock clean crystal i dont see some big difference honestly … also clean is too soft on the edges compared to gen while the deep is too sharp on the edges gen is a gold middle

Great looking watch, definitely going to buy the white LN. However, will wait gor the batch with oiled movement, a noisy movement is a little bit of a turn off (depending on how strong ofcourse).

Believe me it is not louder than my 116500
And do not hastitate because of that, also one drop of oil will fix the “issue”

 

[CPTony]

come

So is this model the one I see on your website? I am ready to pull the trigger

 

[Dollhorn]

It is not yet on their website

none of my Daytonas with Dandong movement are noisy, why is anyone talking about this?

 

[M Scott]

Ready for some more flex pics?
3 more people will order after this

You almost had me...

I seriously considered changing my order for a Clean V3 Black Dial 116500 to a Clean V1 126500.

I even photoshopped a Black 126500 Dial into one of your photos to try and get a better side by side comparison.
.

In the end, I still prefer the "more sporty" looking 116500... for now.

This picture helped me decide... Still getting a Clean so maybe you do work for them?

Same thickness. Apparently they’re good for 100m water resistance but I only got mine tested for 50 and it passed fine

Not as noisy you can hear it on wrist… just when you shake it in front of your ear, you hear rotor spining, thats all … thats even on gens

I really like the watch, it looks stunning but the bezel f**ks up after 70 -> 60..
