I sold a 116500 panda. This is the new 126500. It’s the latest Clean version with the new 4131 movement. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I had the 116500 if felt and looked great, but the new 126500 just looks sharper IMO. The slimmer sub-dials and longer markers make the dial seem cleaner if that makes sense. Maybe it is also something to do with the case actually being better proportioned with the lugs now being symmetrical. On the wrist the new shaped lugs seem to curve a bit more with your wrist so it sits flusher from the side profile. The one thing that I thought would clearly stand out, but actually doesn't, is the new metal ring around the bezel. It is very subtle in real life and don't really notice it when looking face on to the dial or even at an angle. It is only really from the side you notice it. With regard to the new 4131 movement, I've not worn it long enough to check out the 72 hour power reserve. In respect of a Clean V2 116500 to a Clean 126500, they are both fantastic quality and probably as close to the gen that you can get. The finish on them both is first class with everything lining up as it should and edges and fit being spot on. If I were to be pick between the 116500 and 126500, I would definitely chose the new 126500, as I think it just looks a more balanced watch now, but the 116500 is still a stunner. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan32 1,076 Posted April 2 SERICA INTRODUCED THEIR 5303 WATCH WITH A SOPROD NEWTON MOVEMENT. AN UNUSUAL STERILE DIAL AND MESH STRAP MADE THIS MICRO BRAND A HOT SELLER AT 1490,00€ or £1270 Unfortunately the movement choice was a disaster and eventually the company had to introduce a better chronometer rated movement, meanwhile or Chinese friends produced a number of "chomages" this is the Ipose & IXDao with the PT5000 for £154 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was missing it so I sought another . . . . . and it arrived today from Andrew @trustytime . .. . . how the prices have risen .... paid $217 this time . .. . that is approximately £173 . .. after discounts but not including the postage. I bought two this time in anticipation of another member in the UK would be yearning for one without the wait .... . .. . and all being well . . .. .
