I finally found one!!!
Hello everybody. I have gone through a black 116520, a white 116520, a TT 116523, another black 116520 ... all the while on the lookout for my grail Daytona: A beautiful classic white 16520. I was able to organize a trade that landed this baby in my hands about 15 minutes ago. It is a T-serial (1996). Here is a quick and dirty office wrist shot!

I still like the new movement better, but there is something about the classic white you have there that is just SWEET!

why do you like the 16520 better than the 116520?

Hi.
The 16520 is the Zenith movement....so the subdials are level with the 3 and 9 markers not raised above as in the 116520 which is the Rolex inhouse movement.


Regards Mike.
