Depends on the price. If they cost the same, then obviously go for the new one if you can get it, but don't forget that they're not making any more 116520s.

There's tons of hype for the new version now, but it will become a common watch soon enough. Normally with Rolex, and especially with Daytonæ, the older models eventually become more desirable than the newer ones.

That may take quite some time to happen with the 116520 vs. 116500LN, however.

If you get the 116520 now and start saving, by the time you have enough you *might* be able to pickup the 116500. By that time you might not even want it anymore.

Cerachrome Daytona

Juantxo · 9 July 2016, 02:00 AM

The steel bezel Daytona is plain perfect and they won't be producing them again. I'd buy the one with the steel bezel now that I can and later on pick up the now standard with the ceramic bezel.

The bezels on the older Daytonas are wonderful because they are so crisp. The more modern steel bezels provide the watch a solid look and blend nicely with the case. The ceramic bezel won't scratch, well, it's new, it doesn't look bad at all, but it's "different".

I own both white and black dial steel bezel Daytonas, and I'm in a wait list for a white dial ceramic bezel Daytona.

Ceramic for sure. Have had both on my wrist and am glad I got the ceramic! That being said you can't go wrong with either, both gorgeous watches with their charms.

Sounds like a plan...although you couldn't go wrong with either.

Vaxe · 9 July 2016, 07:15 AM

I own the 116520 and expect to get the call this quarter for my 116500. New one for sure, though I'll be keeping the "old" as well since I bought it BNIB from AD.

111forza · 9 July 2016, 07:49 AM

Love my 116520 and its for sure a keeper

I think the black dial works so well with the SS bezel

Gotta say though my name is down for the White 116500 love how the ceramic bezel works with the White dial

Lordofrolex · 9 July 2016, 07:50 AM

Daytona C for sure

mzmonzon · 9 July 2016, 07:51 AM

I've never loved a previous SS Daytona I had this much. :)

I have had both the white and the black dials of the previous version, they didn't work for me.

I am looking forward to seeing the new version in person, pics look great...I hope I love it, I would really like to have the new black version in my small collection.

MrInternational · 9 July 2016, 08:37 AM

I would select the new :-) choose what you want (what a glorious problem to solve!)

Yes! Same here. It has a totally different look/feel (bigger on the wrist imo - 116520 looked small on me). I also love the dial being more glossy. The bezel's scratch proofness also doesn't hurt.

Get it. You won't regret it. Congrats in advance!

both unfortunately. Dressy and sporty.

Got told in Knightsbridge that the new ceramic has a 8 year waiting list?

Was the dealer still drunk from the night before?

Needless to say she was stunning and petite rocking a Sub Batman

LOL - no, I don't think the wait list is 8 years, may be 2-3 years if you already have an established relationship with local AD. I guess in 8 years, TS will have tons in stock and for sale below MRSP.

gav329 · 9 July 2016, 11:55 AM

New ceramic for sure. The older is nice too and a legendary watch but definitely a scratch magnet whereas the ceramic bezel should keep appearance for many years to come. The Daytona will always be desirable and a classic and I think the new model will be one of the most sought after. Rolex really nailed it's look and I think the font type on the ceramic bezel has a lot to do with that, it's superb and suits perfectly. The dimensions are perfect too, enjoy your watch.

New, not a massive fan of the old.

McCliohn · 9 July 2016, 03:49 PM

The new one because the shiny, steel bezel on the previous version is a scratch magnet. I sold mine because it really bugged me!

Muzz · 9 July 2016, 07:17 PM

Another vote for the new one, but I see you already came to that conclusion!! Worth the wait:)

VICI · 10 July 2016, 01:03 AM

When in doubt, go new.

Except for single malt

garyk · 17 July 2016, 01:32 PM

No doubt about it, the new one...

Bisquitlips · 17 July 2016, 02:26 PM

Yes!

Jareddad · 17 July 2016, 02:33 PM

H_tony11 · 18 July 2016, 09:42 PM

Between the two, i'll choose the ceramic one.
The ss is scratch magnet
