Anyone who own both black and white Daytona?

Hi

Is there anyone here who owns both black and white 116520?
I like my black 116520 so much that I like to own both black and white. However, having 2 steel Ss Daytona, where the dial is the only difference, sounds a bit boring or crazy.

What do you think of getting a white 116520, when you already have the black one + some other sport SS Rolex?

Yep. No regrets. Started with the black while being on the waitlist for the white. They are so different that if you love the Daytona - not a bad idea.

Didn't know the black got the boot Gus


Just means there is room for something new in your enviable collection

Is owning both crazy?

Yes but this is the looney bin so when in Rome...

Good review & thoughts for black & white dials & Daytonas for general though I disagree with his TT theory.

Not 116520's but B&W nonetheless.

I originally bought the black dial Daytona and had Rolex swap the dial out to white when I first got it. Though I still have the black dial and can switch it back if I want to. Ultimately I would like to buy a new black one to have both.

Here is my current Daytona collection, minus the 6263 which I recently sold. The different dial colors do make a difference.

Yes, I think those two may be the perfect yin-yang pair.
I tend to wear the Daytona more than subC and gmtC, because I find it smaller and MUCH more comfortable. Agree?

I also think Daytona and YM are the only remaining Rolex sport models without the modern supercase.

I see there are lots of people with more than one Daytona. So amazing.
