Rolex Daytona 16520.
A cool shot taken in the good old Volvo P1800.
It will very soon be the Anniversary of my Volvo P1800. It was worth a drive this week end!
As for the Daytona, it is always a pleasure to give it some wrist time.
Best,
Nicolas

Great picture, Nico.
Now don't waste any more time and go see Dune, he he he. Cheers Marc
Ah, the Daytona. Not seen this one in a while (haven’t seen mine either but was thinking of it just yesterday).
I need to take your lead and get my 16520 on my wrist this week.
To me this is the one, this far the one and only.
With that car an older Daytona version would match better, but with this one on the wrist who cares, I don't ;-)
Great examples of gentlemanly motorsport
Neither is an example of the most aggressive or most extreme, but will provoke the knowing nod from other enthusiasts. Thanks for sharing, Brian
Great shot as always.
Such an important watch in Rolex’s history. This represents the start of the mayhem and the start of my obsession with the brand. Enjoy your wonderful example my friend. M.
