@CTime please ask Clean to improve the hour markers. Right now, the "borders" of the markers are a bit too thin on the 126500s.



If they can improve on this detail, and the shallowness of the bezel engravings, these watches will be even more amazing.

Rolex mixed the marker with old 116500, so there are different versions of them already

Amazing!! I'd love to get one of these, but I need to save a bit so I'm gonna wait until the 126529 comes out. The second it drops, I'm buying one!

@CTime , any news on this?

People are going crazy about the little LeMans and of course the real LeMans and buy QF factory.
It took 3 month after they received 126500 and end of Jan first versions came out. Complete new watch with
new parts. Everything for the black 6519 is available, except the dial.
There are rumors that CF has problems with there subcontractors, is that the reason?
Or they need a new Marketing Mgr? Looks like they do not want our money and spend time on a new Sea Dweller?

That 126519 is a stunner. Def on the wish list. Thanks CTime!
I’ll second that. Really digging how the subdials complement the dial.

Thanks a lot
when you talk about a half year it will probably end up in 9 month, then the big hype for the LeMans is over.
I believe nobody really want the 24 h counter, most people would like to go with the 12 h counter and have a
nice golden rotor. Anyhow, let‘s hope that they come out with the little LeMans in the next weeks or so. A
Tungsten case on Oysterflex for the 126519 would make a lot of people happy.

I'm really happy to hear that Clean is still working on this, the two tone is currently my favorite of all the new Daytona line
