Black Dial 116500 VS 116520

I know the dials are said to be virtually the same but is there a slight difference in the three sub dial rings? Looks like the 116500 may be a bit darker and less shiny.

Does anyone have a side by side comparison pic?

Yes, the 116500LN’s sub dial rings are more matte finished and not as shiny - making it more legible.

I don’t have a 116520 to compare but here’s my 500LN

I don't have a comparison photo but owned the 116520 and now own the 116500 in black. The big difference to me is obviously the bezel. I have the 116523 which is beautiful but is susceptible to scratches. I think the ceramic bezel makes the 116500 makes it a very special watch.

Hi,
Are there more differences on the black Daytona than the sub dial rings and - obviously - the bezel. Are case and bracelet identical?
