You’re very lucky to get at retail. While I’ve gotten all my other pieces from the AD like the Sprite, Root Beer, green dial OP 41, the Daytona is the one I couldn’t get from AD. I picked up my new reference Daytona Panda yesterday but had to pay double retail for it on the secondary market. But I love the new design compared to the previous version so it was worth the investment to me. I hope you wear in good health and happiness and congrats!
That's awesome! My brother got to pick up a panda Daytona at detail from his AD a few months ago as well. I just got my Rootbeer and next on the list is a Daytona!
BTW, read your booklet on the tack operation. Use use either a 1km or 1mile or a 1 in another unit. Timed speed is where you stopped the mvt and read where the second hand points at on the bezel. The sub counters are used for overall timing and have nothing to do with the bezel. Been using mine rolly daytona for many years to time and obtain speeds of objects for quite some time. Yea, you can use her for racing, also for scientific uses. Us engineers that have one been doing this for quite some time on the sidelines. Read your booklet and have fun with her.😂😂❤😂😂
I’ve been fortunate enough to have purchased all steel sports 👀 I have a playlist of all the watches got from this AD on my channel ua-cam.com/play/PLlN6iKQIsFXYIAv_dR9twGXRD4E_po_cD.html&si=H8WT-0W20cenZ-Ih
I liked how they brought out the watch in the small box as it was shipped from the factory...I've only had that happen once, but I find it a nice touch.
I prefer the lug profile on the previous generation. New generation feels too slab sided. The thinner lugs on the right were to compensate for the pushers which can make the watch feel side heavy on the right.
@EMKWANREVIEWS Could you comment on what you had to purchase before getting offered this watch by your AD and how long it took? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!
whaT a beast how did u get that from the AD? Do i need to make a youtube channel to get the crazy ones? Im already giving my AD to much $$. I had to just buy that second market.
Congratulations on your new Daytona Panda👍Great ending to the year. Next watch to your collection I recommend the Patek 5205R-011. It’s absolute beautiful dress watch.🤔
Congrats,its my trail piece. I recently got a good deal on a Tudor BB Panda, its pretty close but I now want a reverse Panda or the blue one. My next Roles will be a date just,flutted bezel on jubilee bracelet.
Masha allah mabrooq saw your comment on Rolex instagram still waiting for mine, and you finally got it this is true enthusiasm you waited and got your grail , Watch world is no longer same where you use to appreciate watches rather than flip One needs to learn from your patience of getting call from AD 👍🏻
Hahahah that was a long time ago when we could appreciate watches without the flippers spoiling all the fun. Hope you get your call soon too inshallah 🤲🏽
I also put myself on new panda list - by now i have pepsi, new AK, OP from my AD and some Cartier. Probably will have to wait around 4 years. How was Your customer experience with AD ?
dad what do the pushers do? " son don’t worry about that they will never be used ever" lol ,,,i never use on mine i must admit, i use the features on my batgirl but not on my daytona
100% spot on. I am constantly thinking of a use for the stop watch for daily purposes but haven't found one yet. However, I use the Sub's rotating bezel multiple times daily. The GMT bezel also gets used.
Never have owned one. I'd take whatever they wanted to sell me. From a date just all the way up to a Daytona, I'd love to buy. They just don't seem to wanna sell anything to the average Joe. Or uncle Bob. Everyone has an uncle Bob. Let get him a rolex.
@@EMKWANREVIEWS today 2 or 3 years later I have a tag heuer aquaracer 2 Tissot prx (one quartz and one powermatic) and a CWC. (expecting Rolex Explorer 1 36mm soon)
Congrats, beautiful watch ❤ I have the same 126500 with black dial. The best thing about it you got it before a single replica of this reference came to the market. This makes your watch one of the most atheistic Pandas out there 😀🤙
Well I bought one yesterday! Unworn (I already have gotten the 116500ln panda from my AD) so they surely were not going to let me buy this one.. but It is so much better of a watch so screw it I bought it lol - watching your video again to hype myself up !!! Comes in tomorrow morning !!
@@EMKWANREVIEWS I know it may seem silly but yes - but only because it was such a big deal for my salesperson to really plead for me to be able to get it - so I would hate to let it out my collection for that reason you know what I mean? But anyway I don’t expect I’ll want to wear it much anymore so I’ll likely just box her up and keep her safe and aside lol I just would hate to let it go and then that negatively affect me moving forward for future watches because there’s 2 more I’m hounding them for big time (celebration 41 cough cough) lol and also a yellow gold Newman dial Daytona also (Daytona fan here)
Beautiful watch there bro Masha’Allah. I’ve personally just started my watch journey with the new Speedmaster 3861 Sapphire. Will have to try Rolex. I’m thinking to start with a Sub insha’Allah. Mabrook.
Congratulations! Since I've got my 116520 with the white dial, I've ordered the 126500LN with the black dial. Luckily, on my birthday on the 21st of December last week I got the call to pick it up. Unbelievable but it was true and I'm happy af! Much better then the 116500LN tbh. Enjoy it!
@@EMKWANREVIEWS i prefer 116 to 126. I hate thin subdial and bezel outer rings. Symetrical lugs and thinner case makes the watch looks like a UFO to me. Reminds me of explorer 2 116500 white dial looks more bold overall. Never seen black 126500 though
I hate you, and I envy you, but at the same time, I'm happy for you. It's all love, great watch. Congrats!!!!! So awesome, and be careful where you wear your Daytona. Thanks for posting your video. Thank your AD, buy them a good bottle of scotch or some truffle chocolates.
I’d love a day date, but the problem is precious-metals. I prefer due to religious reasons not to wear all gold watches considering a platinum however, but feels like a lot of money to drop
Dude, I gotta say you seem like such a kind soul. Nice to see someone like you get this watch.

Around 2 years

How long it took after the order was placed
I waited just under 2 years from the time of asking.
@@EMKWANREVIEWS Beautiful panda
Only thing I can't fathom is no date window
I prefer the lug profile on the previous generation. New generation feels too slab sided. The thinner lugs on the right were to compensate for the pushers which can make the watch feel side heavy on the right.
That is a grail indeed. Congrats! I also like that it is such a compact chronograph.
@EMKWANREVIEWS Could you comment on what you had to purchase before getting offered this watch by your AD and how long it took? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!
So I’ve been lucky. First watch was an OP around 2015 then Batman, DJ41, Starbucks and now this.
Brother you are extremely lucky to get it from the AD at retail. Congratulations on this beautiful timepiece.
whaT a beast how did u get that from the AD? Do i need to make a youtube channel to get the crazy ones? Im already giving my AD to much $$. I had to just buy that second market.
Old version looks a lot better but both are great!
Inspired by your watch journey, from introducing us to smooth bezel Datejusts to reaching the pinnacles of a Panda!
What a crazy journey thank you for coming along 😅
Lucky you bro! Have fun wearing your grail :)
Thank you 🙏🏽
How many watches u got from them before?
4 sports watches before this.
Did you get any watches prior to getting this during the last 2 years?
Nope. Last watch purchase 2 years ago was this ua-cam.com/video/lmXx0Q8gTxc/v-deo.htmlsi=4568oZOfvOXK6hZq

possible to get as a new buyer who hasn‘t purchased a Rolex before?

Nice one! congratulations brother 🙌🏼💯
Thanks Alex 🙏🏽 Thoughts on the new reference?
@@EMKWANREVIEWS it’s perfect 😍
How many grams do it weigh?
The Old Version(116500LN) looks much better with the thicker subdial rings and elegant case profile.
I mean yeah each to their own. But I and a lot of others who have handled the new reference feel it’s more refined. Both winners though.
Congratulations 🎊 on getting this high demand rolex daytona white panda dial at retail price Enjoy wearing it 🎉
