At the core - I am a Daytona fan.
Finally got the call. 116500 on the wrist. Loving it.
To those waiting - you won't be disappointed. From the first in house 116520 (black) in 2000 to the white in 2007 to today with the Daytona-C. IMO for everyday wear 40mm is optimal. Hope to have a PM Daytona C eventually. The family: Daytona Family Pic by j c, on Flickr Obligatory wrist shot: Untitled by j c, on Flickr |

Congrats on the purchase! Will you be keeping the white 116520, and if so - do you find them too similar?
I'm in the same boat but it's hard to resist not trading the 116500 for a PM Daytona (different maxi case and goes on leather). |

Tempted to try and source a bezel in black for the black one. The white one might just sit in the safe. I can see the values dropping for a while but making the seemingly ubiquitous rise a few years post discontinuation. I do have some friends wanting to buy it but I'm not all that eager to let it go. Once the Everose chocolate dial becomes available on a bracelet some hard choices may have to be made. :) |

As an owner of the 116500, I wonder if someone with a Rolex account could order the ceramic bezel for you. Assuming the internal geometry is the same (it should be as the external case is) - that'll be a great way to update your 116520.

Overrun with well wishes. Thanks fellas!
And solid tip on sourcing the bezel since I am legitimately a 116500 owner now. |
