It's like being on Wall Street now here, it's more about money than watches...

The 500 is so hyped that it lends a certain perception when seen on the wrist, which is not completely positive. Whereas a 16520 is a real flex.

Yes I would take the Zenith!
In heart beat.

Got nothing to do with „ Value“

Really appreciate all the feedback. I decided to keep the Zenith. I'll get a used 116500.

How can a 116500 be NOS (New Old Stock), it's current production? Anyway, I would take the NOS 16520 in a heartbeat.

Are you going to actually wear the 116500? If so, I’d also bail on the 16520. You’re not wearing it and wearing it would not make it NOS. But you’re also not enjoying ownership either. These things are meant to wear.

If you’re going to get the 116500 and not wear it like the Zenith, then the obvious choice is to keep the Zenith.

I decided to keep the 16520. Any 116500 would be to wear. I stuck my Black Bay Chrono on for now which has distracted my recent 116500 obsession :)

Old school Daytona for me the Zenith is the bomb

I've listed it for sale here:

No idea what it is worth so I will keep reducing the price until sold.

Zenith

I'm not a Daytona fan but I know enough to pick the Zenith.

I have used versions of both. If I had to, I’d choose the ceramic over the Zenith.

That said a NOS 16520 vs a new 116500LN is a no brainer. The Zenith every time.

dommasters · 28 March 2022, 08:12 PM

She is now down to £39,500. Will be reduced every day until swapped or sold :)
