Hello guys. I know that a 126500LN is a Panda. Im seeing models for sale labeled 126500 without LN.
And I couldnt find any diffrences from a panda.
Can somone tell me what are the deffrences between a 126500LN vs a 126500. if there's any?
And what is the exact meaning of the "LN".

You have two choices (black dial white dial) for the 126500 and they both have the same black bezel...

Delving in French etymology
« lunette » refers to a frame shape with a home

Typically we will say « la lunette des toilettes » to refer to the seat…

While we are down below « lunette noire » also refers to a hole that usually does not see daylight, except in specific situations…

I've been here for two years and have picked up about a dozen Rolexes, both gen and rep. Even now, I still can't be bothered with all those model and reference numbers. What I’ve always done — and will keep doing — is just telling my TD or AD exactly what I want, in human language: 116500 black dial, panda, two-tone dayjust, rosegold daydate... or just call them what everyone does—GMT batman, batgirl, sub starbucks, hulk, whatever. Trust me, they’ll get it.

Since I brought up the batman and hulk thing, let me throw in a side question and hope the OP doesn’t mind. Who actually comes up with these nicknames? Some of them sound pretty ridiculous, to be honest. Like who thought calling the Le Mans a “white-eyed wolf” was a good idea? And how did a black and grey bezel become “Bruce Wayne”? Anyone got background on this?
