FEATURED WATCHES
Rolex Daytona Ref. 126500 Black Dial & White Dial
Rolex released a brand-new generation of Daytonas in 2023, replacing the first ceramic bezel 1165XX generation. With the new 1265XX Daytonas, the first in-house Rolex chronograph movement, caliber 4130, was discontinued and replaced with the caliber 4131. This newer movement has a more efficient Chronergy Escapement and a rotor with more ball bearings. However, the already substantial 72-hour power reserve remains the same.
The movement also has a new Côtes de Genève Rolex decoration, a design element we can now see via the exhibition case back on the platinum models-the first and only in the Rolex sports watch series to have a sapphire case back.
The movement isn’t the only upgrade Rolex made to the series. The ceramic bezel is now trimmed in metal to match the rest of the watch. So, the white gold model is trimmed in white gold, the stainless steel model is trimmed in steel, and so on. While it looks striking, it also protects the bezel from getting dinged and chipped.
The stainless steel ref. 126500 is still 40mm and is still available with either a black or white dial with red “DAYTONA” text like the duo of watches we unboxed in this week’s episode of “What’s in the Box.” However, the case has been slightly slimmed down to about 11.9mm thick.
Outwardly, Rolex has made several noteworthy upgrades to the new Daytonas that give the watch a slightly different and more refined aesthetic. For example, the rings surrounding the sub-dials are thinner and somewhat resemble the vintage “Big Eye” chronograph. Additionally, the hour markers are slightly smaller and thinner-changes that make the dial appear cleaner.
Like previous models, the dial is still decorated with Rolex’s proprietary “Chromalight,” a long-lasting luminescent material that glows bright blue in the dark and is crisp white in the light. This material is marketed as boasting 8 hours of continuous luminescence and is certainly striking, day or night.
Lastly is the three-link Oyster bracelet and the convenient 5mm comfort extension link.
What are your thoughts on the new Rolex Daytona? Do you prefer the white or black dial? Let us know in the comments.

[@jessedeville]

don't forget to show the bit where you take the links off and then charge extra for them

[@The_Unsuitable]

Or if you try to trade in, low ball you and tell you they have plenty in stock so trade in only.

[@killsbugsfastrealfast]

Ohhhh.

[@CodyVella]

😂😂😂

[@jethrojacinto2798]

What makes the Daytonas great (and superior) is the fact that they have NO dates. It would just ruin the aesthetic of a classic piece.

[@bobswatches]

Team No Date!

[@Nordic_Sky]

It is also super helpful if you don't wear the watch every day. You don't have the hassle of constantly having to set the date.

[@BiografWien-zx6tf]

Believe me it’s not the date ( or the lack of it ) makes it great… and superior to what lol what do you know about watchmaking … do you think it makes it super to Blancpain Villeret Reveil gmt or Patek chronograph ? These are just different watches with different styles … i

[@CodyVella]

I enjoy my Speedmaster much more.

[@loogsflamez8412]

I mean the best rolex of all time will be the sky dweller

[@cookingwithwatches]

White dial looks a bit cheesy, so black dial for me. Perfect everyday watch.

[@bobswatches]

+1 for the black dial Daytona!

[@ichibansantos10]

I like the new black dail

[@bobswatches]

The black dial is truly gorgeous!

[@dannyg6592]

I am wearing my Explorer 124270 today. I prefer the white dial 116500 to either of these new models.

[@bobswatches]

Nice wrist check today! Team 116500 White Dial -- love it!

[@EyeInTheSkypaulmcmenamin]

I got the black dial from my AD just last week, two weeks before my wedding. I love it!

[@bobswatches]

Talk about perfect timing! How wonderful. We hope you enjoy it for a lifetime!

[@dl14say67]

Turned the black down in May, picked up the white last week. Definitely made the right choice.

[@markohjelt]

I like the new 126500 black dail❤🖤❤

[@bobswatches]

Team Black Dial on the 126500!

[@jimf7654]

I’ll take either Daytona, but for me the white dial is more legible and the markers really pop.

[@robertm1692]

Sorry Emily, team no date here for the Daytona. I do NOT like a date on chronographs, even though I have a Tudor BB 58 chrono. The dial is busy enough with all of the markers, the sub dials, and chronograph markers. As far as white dial vs black dial, I have a reverse panda chrono and a white dial chrono. There's no need to choose except for which one to wear.

[@bobswatches]

Another team "No Date" -- you are the majority! And for good reason 🙂

[@HeinisField]

got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on MaMaCoo 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.

[@ComicBookVeteran]

Started out with my 16710 Pepsi, but after this I gotta pull for team Daytona and switch to my 116503 BLACK diamond dial. I know some don’t like the diamonds, but it’s a winner for me!

[@bobswatches]

We're influencing a midday wrist check swap to the Daytona, WE LOVE IT!

[@rampantcolt]

I’m wearing my Rolex 17000 white dial dome bezel circa 1981. Minty fresh.

[@darellhunter2205]

I love the updates to the Daytona! I've registered interest for the white dial. My AD is awesome and they've let me know this one is going to take some time. Lol.

[@bobswatches]

How awesome! Another +1 for Team White Dial on the 126500.

[@jsusna1972]

Today my Grand Seiko Katana is on my wrist. I didn't really get a sense of scale on Justin's Deep Sea Challenger until he pulled out the first Daytona. It made the Daytona look like a kid's watch. Emily's lady Datejust really popped with the President bracelet. It's still my favorite Rolex bracelet. Although I am not a fan of chronographs in general, if I had to choose, I'd go white dial.

[@bobswatches]

Great to hear from you! Happy to read you have the Grand Seiko Katana on today. Another vote for the White Dial Daytona 126500, a nice choice.

[@mike1353]

How do we find out how much they are? I just subscribed today!

[@metro2171]

Can’t go wrong with either choice they are just Gorgeous watches I will be going for both. White first black second

[@YanshienQuisote]

As a broke boy and actual enthusiast who wants watch’s prices to crater, amzwatch is a good choice.

[@frankm4129]

The black is much more expensive looking Black for me

[@PaigeJones-v5k]

No date on Daytona is perfect

[@AndreaDoesYoga]

Wow, those Daytona Rolexes are stunning! 😍

[@bobswatches]

We agree!

[@jessfierro36]

Definitely need both Daytonas -- as well as -- that awesome DeepSea Challenge. WOW!

[@foleydvm]

what a show!!!!! white dial all day!

[@bobswatches]

Yes, team White Dial!

[@TriforceRich]

I ever so slightly lean black dial but this is a case where there is no wrong answer. I prefer the old reference. I like the bolder subdials. Whenever I see the black dial, I just can’t help but think of the Empire from Star Wars - the color scheme and design is perfect for that theme.

[@mangabatwands]

It always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of amzwatch's watch 99% of people will never see.

[@ShalisaDume]

Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the amzwatch’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.

[@michaelking446]

42 white gold yachtmaster.

[@bobswatches]

Fantastic wrist check! Thanks for sharing.

[@minibus1351]

Wasn't ceramic used so that it's less "wear and tear"? Putting a metal surround seems counterintuitive to me.

[@bobswatches]

The ceramic bezel on the 126500 offers several advantages regarding wear and tear. But adding the stainless steel ring around the Cerachrom bezel is a practical update given if you were to knock the ceramic bezel edge, it could easily shatter.

[@dukes70]

Ceramic is good for scratch resistant and color fading from the sun like old GMT bezels but it’s also susceptible to shattering or cracking if you really smack those edges. Now it’s like the Sub and GMT inserts.

[@WestCoastAce27]

So Bob’s is admitting to the fact that greys get to buy out of the back door of ADs at MSRP?

[@1in7.8b]

Absolutely no date!!! Date windows just ruin the cohesiveness of the dial. I wish my speedmaster didn’t have date complication. IMHO date only works on the datejust or president. Today I’m wearing a 1970 Seiko Lord Matic 5600 with the day and date in Kanji and a grey/blueish linen dial.

[@bobswatches]

Thanks for watching and weighing in on the date vs no date debate!

[@NickMatthews-eh8sj]

What’s the price?

[@JDYT90]

I cannot stand when dealers wear the watch then put it back up for sale. Most likely paraded as ‘unworn’.

[@bobswatches]

Makes sense.

[@khoimavlogs5161]

NO no date all day. Bad idea screw up symmetry of dial with date.

[@bobswatches]

Team No Date! You're not alone here... Emily may be in this Chronograph camp all by herself 😂

[@khoimavlogs5161]

If she want chronograph with date get Zenith.

[@amansood1]

Great video. Can I pick both?? 😊

[@bobswatches]

Thanks for watching! You can definitely pick both versions of the 126500 👏👏

[@unclejonga]

Panda all day long

[@bobswatches]

Love it!

[@RaviderBourne]

Ever since I bought a watch from MAMACOO , My question is if it's this hard to tell them apart, what is the point of owning an authentic watch?

[@artaudcharles]

New Panda, all the way.

[@bobswatches]

So glad you're enjoying the 126500!

[@robynsjp]

Flex and hype only. A definite no go. A 1960s Rolex sports piece is so much better.

[@RB-xv4si]

Which AD sold you these?

[@bobswatches]

We only buy from the public. These were from two different states/previous owners.

[@RB-xv4si]

@@bobswatches owners who are also Rolex SA’s?

[@djmanosv]

so what do we see here ?

[@bobswatches]

Two Rolex Daytona ref. 126500 watches!

[@BiografWien-zx6tf]

Oh you really wanna know what’s my vote ? Do you even know me ? Or you just wanna make your video more famous ? If yes you think I am stupid ?

[@bobswatches]

Famous? That's never been our goal. We favor authenticity and transparency. We're just trying to poll the audience on which dial variation they prefer most on the 126500. Which would you choose: the White or Black dial?

[@estatesla]

I can no longer watch this nonsense

[@bobswatches]

why so?

[@Tennysonism]

Same. It’s very fake and scripted. I see what they are trying to do but it missed the mark. It’s a Bob’s commercial. I’m out.

[@robertm1692]

@@Tennysonism Of course it is a Bob's Watches commercial, what were you expecting? They showed the watches, explained the updates, picked their favorite, and you decide if it's a watch you'd like to own. Pretty simple.

[@ellardgrudzinski]

It always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of MAMACOO's watch 99% of people will never see.

[@BoboacaDoxaras]

God!!! amzwatch Who would have thought those gorgeous watches go for that low!!!

[@diefenbachfravert]

I have “real” watches and a lot of them. I have a friend who buys the #MAMACOO we put them side by side and guess what ?! It’s unbelievable!!! I am at the Rolex boutique with her and no one can tell he has a fake

[@markohjelt]

I like the new 126500 black dail❤🖤❤

[@bobswatches]

It's stunning!

[@RozelleTajkhan]
