daytona 16520 vs daytona 116520
Looking for opinions please: I have the opportunity to get a white dial Daytona 16520 Zenith El Primero movement or a new SS 116520 with in-house movement. I would like to know what the Rolex forum Daytona wearers think..should I plunk down for the 16520 ...
I find the 16520 aesthetically more desirable.
I owned both the 116 520 and the 16 520, ans I ended with a 16520... Best, Nicolas

16520!
I had one with both dials black&white, I sold it for a 1665 Rail, than I sold it too... nowadays I'd buy a 16520 R, never thought to buy a 116520 even if I've seen a nice one with a creamy dial
Went for the 116520
To All who replied to this post, After looking at both and trying both on, I went for the white dial 116520. Hopefully, I dont offend the 16520 enthusiasts. Thanks to all of you for your inputs..Happy Holidays and cheers!!
