I literally see no difference except maybe the marker squares are a tad bit bigger and the bezel engraving is deeper but you have to fucking zoom in to see it

On the Gen the markers, are placed a little bit closer to the inner edge of the ceramic bezel - closer to the crystal. And as many have correctly noticed, the engravings are too deep. But will you see this on the wrist? Probably not.
And there will be updated bezels in the future for replacement if it hurts your eyes. Swapping over a bezel is quite easy with the right tools. Even I can do it in about 5 minutes....

Anyone know if the Le Mans model is actually in the works?
tempted to buy black dial but would rather wait for that

Taking this as my chance to make my first post after joining over 2 years ago and soaking up the vast amount of passion and knowledge RWI has to offer. I recently decided to become a patron to support the community.
I am a bit of a Daytona nut and last year in May I had the very lucky opportunity to be invited to a launch event where I was able to try on the gen 126500 as one of the first people to see it "in the flesh" in my area. I initially wasn't too fond of the amalgamation of different design aesthetics the current model brings together (there's 6263, 16520, 116520, 116509/19 elements, all in one watch) but having felt and seen it as a real object, I truly fell in love (again).
This has been barely a year ago and seeing @Bobi01 's photos leaves me utterly impressed with this V1. Insane.

It may also be of interest as a reference, I was able to admire the new platinum Daytona that day, too.

I'm no expert but I have to imagine the Le Mans having a 4132 movement instead of the 4131 to account of the left sub-dial being 24 hours instead of 12 creates a massive wrinkle for the factories. Personally I could care less, I've never actually used the chrono on any of my reps and I would just change the "1" to "2" on the movement text for the clear caseback if it were up to me lmaoNow that one does look really nice...

year jubilee version in white gold with the 4132 movement.
