I personally trade my 116 white for the new 126. Couldn’t be happier. In white the old 116 is more bold but next to a white 126 looks less refined to me in person and in hand. I didn’t like it at first but in person it totally changed my mind
You highlight a nice added feature of the silver rings around the subdials of the black 126. As far as the white dials comparison, does the “refinement” of the 126 mean it’s less sporty to you?
In pics, I really dislike the new thin subdials, which is why I’m leaning black, but I find myself warming to the white 126 when I see certain wrist shots. Your comparison picture is very helpful in showing the difference in character.
