11 years with this Rolex Daytona 16520.
I had my first Daytona, a 16520 last series, in year 2000. White dial. I traded it for a 116520 Black dial around 2006. Which I sold in 2009. I came back to the 16520 ( from 1997 ), in 2009.
And it is here to stay!
I said it many times but for me, this is the best Daytona Reference. After you can have better, such as the 16520 Porcelain, for example. But that' s another story and level of price.
I am super happy with this one.
Best,
Nicolas

I totally agree with you Nico! The 16520 white dial is the best Daytona imho of course!
A true classic with the brushed lugs and the legendary Zenith movement ticking inside. Perfection all around 👌🏼 I had the same and regret selling it 3 years ago
Yes this one for me too,
one day,actually it is the only Daytona excepting the exotic Paul Newman but for that I’ll need to sell my house .Wear it in good health Nico !
I’m on your page on this one.
Although I do appreciate some more recent references too.
The old school “It” watch
This is the reference that defined the Daytona craze. Rewind back 25ish years ago and this was the ONLY watch with a dealer wait list. Can you imagine? Aquanauts were selling at a discount, Royal Oaks were popular but obtainable, Subs and GMTs filled the ...
The 16520 is a special watch.
In the same way as the Lemania Pateks are. Enjoy the next 11 years with your cool Daytona. M.
I can see why you have this for so long - true collectors item!
I think this will be a keeper for many many more years! Best regards
Loved your story Nicolas
It just shows how tastes change, but the one that really make an impact come back again and again. Definitely my favorite Daytona reference. Cheers
