Incoming 16520 from service

16520 Zenith W serial (1995)

1. Service
2. Polish
3. New crystal
4.New luminova white dial replaced original black (kept original black)
5. New tachometer bezel replaced (kept and polished the original tachometer bezel - its like new), but the replacement -new one- has thicker bold and more black tachometer designations on it.

Very happy !

Very nice! Looks like new, but I guess that was the point! Smart to keep the original bits too.

It looks like you need to re-size your pics. They're enormous and hard to take in.

Great classic the Zenith 16520 and kudos for getting it serviced.

I presume you got it serviced at an independent watchmaker with a Rolex parts account instead of RSC hence able to keep the original parts. Smart!

Watch looks great!

Can someone please clarify as I think I may have missed something here. Brains not fully engaged as it's Monday morning.

Can you take a black face Daytona 116520 and have Rolex replace the dial for a white one?

If so, I understand you would have to relinquish the outgoing dial to Rolex. Roughly, what is the cost of this?

Many many thanks in advance.

Nice work on the polishing, the bracelet crown has been well preserved.
