More Daytona
Seeing ssdaytona’s Patrizzi post a few days ago inspired me to go grab my 16520 (not a Patrizzi however).
It’s a very important and core watch in my collection. It some respects the perfect Rolex. (Many Daytona can possibly fit that description for collectors). I say this based purely on the emotional, the feeling one gets from a watch on the wrist. Despite being fortunate enough to have strapped on a number of important or technically impressive or superbly finished or some that may be described as all three of those a Rolex (and this Rolex) illicits a unmatched feeling.
One can never discount the power of a brand. Rolex have done an unparalleled job.

Back in the 80’s when it became sought after, the trend set by the Italians was
The white version, the black was for city dwellers, Oh Parisien RMLOL
This is what I was trying to articulate, but also to add that Rolex the brand has influenced that appeal too.
There’s a level of satisfaction that numerous (objectively) better watches cannot match.
I won’t kill you I’ll agree with you.
The 16520 is one of the best Daytonas without doubt. M.
The 16520 started it all for me.
Although my 6263 is my favourite Rolex the 16520 has a very special place in my heart. Although I’ve never really been a black dial fan I do wish I’d kept some of the black dial 16520’s I’ve owned. Such a very cool watch. Enjoy your beauty. M.
While values differ greatly, I don’t think any other Daytona would give me the same level of satisfaction.
It’s hard to articulate why, but it’s just so.
