Rolex Daytona 6263, 16520 and 116500 Black: A Trio of Black Daytona.
I could see a nice Daytona 6263 today in a shop in Paris, And yesterday night, a 16520 Black: And now, the 116500, for the comparison. 37 mm ( 6263 ) versus 40 mm, Manual winding movement ( 6263 ) versus automatic ( Zenith for the 16520 / Rolex for the 11...
Yes , the tiercé is in order of your présentation, Nicolas
And the photo of the 116500 confirm that i don't like the ceramic bezel ; it look like a tire too thick !! The 6263 is splendid !!!
6263, no doubt.
Between the 16520 and the 116500, I'd need to see them side by side and try them on to decide. I liked the white dial 16520. Best, Vte
6263 by a mile for me
I like the 6263 then 16520 tritium dial then the new ceramic. On the new ceramic I like the white dial better. I wish they made the modern panda dial in steel - now it is only in gold. That comes close to 6263. I know they would never do that. Also I like...
Vintage always first
But I was never a big fan of the black dialled 16520 or the next model But the new Daytona does sing out to me Would be interesting to do the same comparison with white dials Thanks nico J
There’s a reason why Rolex didn’t recreate the 6263 in modern times ...
For me, owning both the 116520 which I think appearance-wise is similar to the 16520 except for the movement, the bracelet and the hour markers and the 116500,I would still go for the modern ceramic version for the improvements made on the bezel which als...
My friend all great in their own ways.
It would be 6263 and 16520 for me first. M. This is my version but in white dials. ...
The white dial of the 116500 is very nice ...
But why this so thick céramic bézel ??? A little bit thinner and the modern Daytona can become quasi perfect ....
I like the thicker Ceramic bezel on the modern pieces.
The Platinum version works so well I think and the steel also agrees with me. To me it’s done just to let us know that it is a modern watch. M. ...
To start, I‘m not, not at all a Daytona fan; for me most if not all don‘t really sing to me.. Why ? - too much, too bold of a Rolex..
& probably also too much of a budget, for what it stands for.. (BTW: I love my other (Vintage & some modern) Rollies: Subs, GMT‘s including my pride of a 6542), Explorer 1 & 2s, Milgauss, Yachtmaster.. .. Sorry, guys.. 😉 .. but if I were to decide out of ...
