Rolex Daytona 16520 Black and White.

Feb 02, 2019,07:15 AM
 

Some weeks ago, I posted pictures of the Rolex Daytona 6239 in black, and in white. And I had hard time deciding which one would be my favorite. 


Hypothetically, as I own none of them.

With the 16520, it is different, since I opted many years ago for the white dialed one. But quite a long time, I am thinking of finding a black one. 

Just to make and get this pair! 



This duo is not mine, it belongs to a good friend of mine who was convinced that getting both was THE solution.

And when I see this picture... I am convinced, too. 

Best,

Nicolas

I was convinced by pictures on the table but unconvinced on the wrist

I’ve owned both — not as the result of searching but by fortuitous circumstances and friends seeking to get out from under them. And I sold both — without regrets, because I found the visibility of the dials to be amongst the worst of any chronographs I’v... 

One had Zenith movement; one had Rolex

I am not very Rolex-number literate, to be honest. They're all "Daytonas" to me Sorry, Mike

Bought a 116520 in white in ‘09

Keep hunting...

....I spent more time than I should have this morning and yesterday checking prices on the white 16520. The black dial was always my favorite, and fortunatley I did pick one of those up, however as time has gone one the white dial has grown more and more ... 

Two superb specimens and top picture !

Getting both is the right way. Or... with the budget to get both, you could also get a nice 6239 non PN 😁😅 Cheers
