26400SO date dial question!!!
Hi all,
I came across this beautiful 26400 SO last week. Tried it on & love it so much! However, I noticed the date dial seems to be different from the earlier model. Picture on the left was taken from early post of the 26400SO ( I believe when it was first released). Picture on the right was taken by me with an I series 26400SO. It seems like the date dials are not the same. Older one with silver ( chrome) smooth ring under the dial. Newer one with darker round & showing some jagged edges from the grand tapisserie. Anyone has information about this??? Can any owner of 26400SO check please???thx in advance!
Cheers

I have never seen the version in the press photos live.
And I think it is just that - a product of the press photos. I like it much more the way the artwork shows it, but in reality it is not like that. We see this discrepancy on other models too. The press photos for the new 42mm Royal Oak Offshore blue dial ...
Thank you!!!
Hi Michael! Thanks! This is what I was thinking too. Also I think the angle & lighting do affect the outcome of how the actual date window look as well! I noticed on the 26400, it does have a metal ring on the date window like the official picture. Ju...
