The differences between the new Panda and the old one:
Dial Design: The Rolex New Daytona 126500LN-0001 has a more delicate dial design, especially the hour markers which are noticeably slimmer, bringing them closer to the numerals and making the chronograph dials appear more compact. This change not only enhances the overall aesthetics but also gives the dial a stronger sense of space. Additionally, the lines of the three sub-dials on the new version have become finer, which harmonizes better with the numerals on the dial.
Bezel Design: The new Daytona's ceramic bezel is now encircled by an added metal ring. This design provides better protection for the bezel and gives the watch a more refined appearance. The metal ring complements the slimmed-down sub-dials, enriching the layering of the entire watch face.
Lug Design: The design of the lugs on the new version has also changed, showing a vertical and steep profile when viewed from the side, which is more distinctive compared to the old version. This design strengthens the connection between the lugs and the bracelet, adding a unique charm to the watch.
Detailing: At the 6 o'clock position on the dial, the "SWISS MADE" mark now includes a small crown symbol between the two words. This detail makes the dial more sophisticated and also serves as an important indicator to distinguish between the new and old versions.

Warm tips: some bloggers use two fake watches to compare in order to brag that the fake Daytona is the same as the real one, in order to make buyers who don't understand the truth to buy it. The pictures we have taken are really real and will never be faked.
First of all, there's the dial color comparison: the original's white dial is a much softer white, the Clean's white is a bit brighter and the whole color palette looks cooler, while the original is on the warmer side.
In order to verify this conclusion, we took several side-by-side comparisons from different angles and with different light variations. Yes, it's not wrong to see that the color of the dials is a little different. My feeling is that there is another reason for the different permeability of the Crystal. A lot of people assume that Rolex's are the best, but we've disassembled a lot of genuine Rolex's, and Rolex's sapphire isn't the best in terms of transparency, so sometimes the dials don't look as clear in comparison. On the right side of the picture below is a Deep Crystal that we customized for our customer:
Both Genuine and Clean use 904L stainless steel, same material, same color, slightly different is the polishing process. The brushing of the case bracelet is almost the same, but, as we know, the case bracelet may feel cut if the edges are not finely polished, and the Clean is in need of some improvement in this regard. The appearance of the clasp, both the logo and the function of the clasp, it is hard to recognize any difference. There is no doubt that Clean's replica Daytona is of the best quality.
About the movement comparison: Clean movement uses Shanghai 4131 movement, this movement we disassembled and compared, please check here. With a power reserve of over 70 hours, the movement construction is the same as the original, the functions are the same, and the dimensions are the same in diameter and thickness - it's a superb clone. If you really like this watch and don't want to pay too much of a premium, maybe this is a good deal. Even though it's not real, people walking past you won't be able to tell it's fake!
