To continue my saga of vintage Rollies, I obviously could not go further without a Daytona. The question would then be which one… : the 16520 carrying the famous 4030 movement derived from the Zenith El Primero ? or its successor 116520 having the in-hous...
Superb choice Mike ...

And yes I confirm you should catch the train before it goes to fast, it has left the station a while ago at a reasonable path but it is accelerating now…

...did you know that after eight years of intense investigation Osvaldo Patrizzi has been fully acquitted. I am neither his advocate nor a fan of O. Patrizzi but I only say that the justice has fully deeply intensely investigated his case and finally conc...

Mind numming beauty! Best Blomman
The choice is a simple one.

The 16520 is the best Daytona ever made. Yes even over the 6263 and all previous and post models. For me it represents a model which infected my soul and is what really made me fall in love with the brand even though subs and GMT’s had been on my wrist fo...
My Favourite 16520.

1988 R786 Porcelain dial Full set. Even better this watch came with none lume hands. Had my name on it all those years ago. M. ...
Thank you Mike.

You are welcome for the pics. It’s not an easy dial to capture the true beauty of. M.
Thank you my friend.

Maybe we are a similar age as I think the 16520 is a special watch for many around my age. It was certainly a watch I aspired to and dreamt of owning as a young man. M.

Great watch....but for me the 16520 to have
By: fatboyharris : November 22nd, 2018-05:54
is the very earliest iterations the porcelain dial or floating cosmograph as these are designed and manufactured with outstanding one off features that seperates them from every Daytona that succeeds them but has design features eg 200mph bezels that echo...
Couldn’t agree more J.

I remember you love for the 16520 back in the day. Good to see you here BTW. Miles.
If we only knew back then what we know now....
By: fatboyharris : November 23rd, 2018-00:48
.I still would have bought the TT LOL! Remember Derek's NOS B&P Porcelain dial 16520....good old days was life more innocent then? Of course not forgetting someone's PN. All the best regards John
lol. I did know back then.....
By: Miles_151 : November 23rd, 2018-01:13
Which was why I needed a Porcelain dial. Yes MD’s was a peach of a watch. To be fair though he did get £25k for it 😉😉 One thing is for sure.... a time machine would be great. It would now appear people don’t mind if their PN dials are fake or baked. I cou...

If only hey. You keep your feet up my friend I’m sure you’ve done your bit over the years. Yes M would wish he still had it I’m sure but he bought a lovely 5970g with the proceeds if I remember correctly. M.
Great post Mike! Absolutely agree that it is important to add
By: Subexplorer : November 22nd, 2018-07:29
pleasure and excitement to the reading of time when wearing an awesome watch on the wrist! That's part of the joy of owning beautiful watches and wearing them! Of course a Patrizzi dial on a 16520 adds a Wow Factor to that superb watch! Your example is si...
Wonderful my friend

I believe that reference is the best Daytona I am buying another Rolex in the near future it’s going to be this one and another GMT
