Daytona ref 16520

A wonderful watch to own.
This is their certified pre owned from Rolex? I have no experience but if the watch has service paperwork from Rolex that is wonderful. In that case price is based on condition as service is guaranteed. ...

My one regret is I was a little too focused in my search. While I was making the rounds I wish I had also looked at white dial 16520s and gold 16528s. Now I'm tempted to check out other versions but need to hit up the dealers again... ...
