Not for me…

I’ve never liked the steel bezel… and prefer black dials 😬

Rolex Daytona 16520. Picture of the day.

It's been a long time I didn't wear it. I think it will be on the wrist for some time... A pleasure to own it. Best, Nicolas ...

Didn´t know you had that one too. Looks super on you and the right dial color. Enjoy! Lars

Yes, I had one in 2000, then sold it, took a black dialed 116520 which I didn't like that much, which I let go and got this 16520 in 2009. A keeper, now.

The perfect modern Daytona 👍

Indeed, mon ami.

By: amanico : May 8th, 2022-16:33

To me it beats all the other steel Daytonas. Surely it’s a keeper (and a wearer) :-)

By: LarsG : May 8th, 2022-16:20

I totally agree. For me, the best Daytona, ever!

Great shot...

...of a classic : )

Thanks, Daniel.

A classic my friend! Enjoy!

A pleasure to share it.

By: amanico : May 8th, 2022-16:33

A real beauty.

Definitely, Bill!

By: amanico : May 8th, 2022-16:39

Looks great!

By: jlux : May 8th, 2022-16:54

A real timeless classic!

Agreed. A great neo vintage, now.

By: amanico : May 8th, 2022-17:30

A stunner, Nico!

Have a great rest of your Sunday, hermano! Alex

Mil Gracias, Hermano.

Nice watch and nice shot !!

Superbly captured.

By: amanico : May 8th, 2022-21:47

Great watch and a superb shot

Merci, O.

Kudos to Rolex for often getting the design language of their watches just right. This example is one of those times Rolex got it right.

By: BigAppleBill : May 8th, 2022-20:16

Nicely put. In this case, this is specially true.

By: amanico : May 8th, 2022-21:47

There is a timeless “comfort” in the Daytona (especially this combo) that states

By: myles721 : May 9th, 2022-11:37

it’s case as much to the owner as to it’s audience. This piece if it existed could have been worn in 1922 just as easily as 2022. I have always felt that the pieces in your collection have a personal attachment as opposed to “hey look another one”…bravo! ...

That's exactly the point, my friend. There is always something behind each watch I own. You know me well.

By: amanico : May 9th, 2022-14:41

One of my favorite Rolex.

By: pptraveltime : May 9th, 2022-23:26

I really think about paying 4x msrp for this one.

Now it is a collector. And as I said many times, probably the best Daytona they ever made. At least from my point of view.

By: amanico : May 10th, 2022-07:00

Very nice Daytona watch. Wonderful picture. 👍

By: geross : May 10th, 2022-11:11

I missed the boat on this one. Happy for you my friend. Enjoy Nico. 😊 Cheers. 🍻 Geross.

It is with me since 2009. Thanks, Geross.

A real beauty.

By: Bill : May 11th, 2022-01:19

Yes, at the point I would love to add a black dialed version!
