Glad to hear it fits larger. That was always my biggest gripe with that 116520.

For comparison, I took these shots of my Daytonas. Of course, then I realized I needed the screw down the crown on the 116500!

To my eye, in person, they are the same size.

I could truly own this one and no other. So I FINALLY get all the Daytona hype.

Glad you enjoy it Rick. It is a nice watch with modest upgrades but ones that do make an impact and difference over the outgoing 116520. Both the new (better) dial and ceramic bezel have been long anticipated.
