Icon4 LEMON 116520 - What do you think ?

Dear All,
Found a 116520 « Lemon », 2004, full set and accessories.
Was also serviced at Rolex service center in 2022.
However the « lemon » dial color is not 100% homogeneous and 1 stain (like burn) appears on bottom/ left of the dial.
Edit: I uploaded video here

What do you think ? Would you purchase?
Thank in advance for your time,
🙏🙇🏻*♂️

I think it is very personal taste. As far as i can see on the video, although the 116520 is by far not my favorite dayto, i pretty much like this one....

LEMON 116520 - What do you think ?

I have a 2003 SS Daytona and love it so depending on price and that you’ve confirmed it’s original I say it’s a go. Isn’t “vintage” over 30 years though?

Y and F serial go yellow. Cursory glance looks ok. I don’t see a premium value over non yellow at moment though personally on 116520 and 116523. Might change.

Cream dial 116520 are rare and legit…..the best ones are usually P serial number and worth quite a bit more than the standard white and black dial

This. Although that panna is very intense.

There are a couple of threads here for OP to search up, he might find out some great info and see if he wants to go ahead or not.
