.....i need at least to try it on my wrist. To be honest, i have occasionally looked at the white gold current offering....a little flirty look every now and then
I have found some nice pictures of a 6265 vs a 16520 (credit Axl). Quite interesting to see the differences between the two watches. The 16520 bezel is too wide IMHO, to me it ruins the proportions of the Daytona. ...
Less cluttered dial (way too many word on the 16520), better looking subdials and better looking overall. The only nicer thing on the Daytona is the diameter. 37 mm is really small for a chrono - 39mm would make the 6265 perfect. ;)
pictures. I do not find the bezel on the 16520 too large I think it is in keeping with the proportions of a larger case. To me the only tiny bit which I would criticise is the "cluster" look of the sub-dials on the 16520 compared to the 6265. If the movem...
... with great pictures to show the two versions together. I own about same watches, as I have a white dialed 116520, and a silver dial with black sub dials 6269 (from 1967) My feelings about these two watches is that though I love both, they are quite di...
... a big compliment coming from you! I appreciate that! So glad you love it! Thank you again, and receive my best cordial regards, Abel. I add another picture of the inscription! ...

By coincidence, just yesterday afternoon I was shown and offered an identical black dial/Zenith movement, Patrizzi dialed Daytona. It kept haunting me since then! Can´t get it off my mind!! Enjoy yours in good health!! Kind regards, Abel.
... to the fire!! It´s a wonderful dial indeed! The patina on your dial is much prettier than the one I was shown. Yours got a beautiful uniform brown color. The one I saw yesterday is lighter brown, and I believe not so uniform. Pretty and distinctive of...
And thanks for your kind words on my Daytona.. It really is very nice to see a contrasting brown patina on this Daytona, makes it very enjoyable to be worn I wish you luck with the negotiation my friend Best, Sam
Which is in my eyes, a kind of best of both words. Maybe more qualitative, but less cool than a manual Dayto. The dial of the 16520 is very much my taste, too. Best, Nicolas.
......has the charm to me. I have had the pleasure of owning one once, but regrettably let it go. I think it is quite pure...if that makes sense. I see many have said that it is a perfect size. I am going through this debate in my head a lot. My wrist is ...
