Rolex 2023 new released 126500 black & white appreciation

[sfbatman787]

The black 126500 looks perfect!

 

[Karbon74]

those things look bigger, yes?

I prefer the 116x Panda. But the 12x Reverse Panda/Godzilla is damn sexy.

those things look bigger, yes?

Yes 41mm.

Thicker lugs, wider case, but thinner case concerning thickness. overall it looks fatrer though, don't even know how they managed that.

I fucking hate the rehaut.

The angle looks like a cheap Thailand rep

From that angle it looks awful lol. It reminds me of when Rolex transitioned from the 5 digit to 6 digit Sub cases

I can't even take a pic of my 116s that looks like that

Look, even from a more aggressive angle, it doesn't look as far or edgy

@CTime thank you for providing this photos!
Can i know your personal preference between 116500 and 126500?
The thicker looking case(rehaut -lugs etc) left me a little bit sceptical if i like or not the new release
Seems that they removed the elegance, maybe it is just that i need to get used of it

I'm too used to the old 116500, I may also need time to accept the difference, but who knows, I might like it more than old ones eventually

 

[CTime]

I'd take the 126500 case and bezel with 116500 panda dial

I see it the same way!

Holy fuck lol the 5 digit to 6 digit comparison is apt...

Look at the end of the lug tips.. right is fat left is thin lig tips, makes the right case look square and bigger

The crown guards are chunkier, pushers are bigger

The dial is bigger and the thin marker and subdials make the right one look "emptier"

Wider bracelet too makes it look bigger

Makes it look sportier and less elegant...

I don't see it as sportier. It's a deliberate effort of "look at me"

"Sportier" is a nice way of saying "it's ugly and not for me" lol

At least the 11x subs, the chunky case made it look like a tool watch

Here, it looks butchered in a bad way

I wanna see the other models though. I've seen the full RG 12x and it looks pretty good imho

Always 116!!!

 

[MaximillianGT]

1 mm bigger in the dial, the case is close to a maxi case.

 

[promax01]

This is beautiful

@CTime can you open the caseback to show if there are any changes to the movement?
