Daytona Appreciation - Post Your Daytona Pics & Opinion

[Messi]

Thanks to @Hasselbaink, @KruisingKhaos95 and @e1phantom Ive fallen in love with Daytonas. And to think I used to hate them! I now believe they are the perfect watch.

My new @Oascom meteorite and aventurine Daytona. I love it. I now have 15 on the build list and have another 2 custom dials in progress!

Wow I had the inverse of this with meteorite subdials and you’re making me wanna DM OASCOM for this damn build.

Enjoy!

I’m leaning more toward the 11 panda.
Prefer the 12 in black

The hour markers and subdial rings look so fat on the 11 lol

Overweight is the politically correct term lolol

Also-- the Clean crystal is kind of trash still. Deep is still superior

I already changed my crystal to Deep. First thing I did after unwrapping it.

The difference in person is quite noticeable but difficult to capture in photos. Excuse the dirt and smudges.

Nice! Is that the Clean v3 bezel you tried the cape cod on? Turned out great

Why?

Some people who have both initially prefer the 126, but eventually revert back to favoring the 116. (Talking about gens, but not so different with current reps)

I can't decide to swap my 116 panda for 126 with 7K difference.. going back and forth, both perfect wathces but i guess not worth it.

My 11 has a Gen crystal/ serviced and runs incredibly well. I will say the only things I like more on the 12 is the hour markers and more importantly the bezel font is bolder/brighter.

The upgrade is pretty negligible we just make it such a big deal because we’re crazy and look at pics 4x zoom under good lighting.

116 case with 126 dial and bezel is the perfect combo

I'm leaning 116x Panda, it looks better, sportier,

The 116x Pikachu looks better than the 126x Pikachu in my opinion

But I think every other model especially black the 126x takes it by a slim margin

Very impressed!

Please put side by side with your gen on different lightnings bro

Exactly, once you get used to new model, the old model looks weird
