As a previous owner of the black dial 116520 I can say that this looks and feels quite different on the wrist as a result of the bezel and shinier subdials. Pretty hard to photo accurately but I tried my best.

Thanks to everyone who had posted photos on here before and especially my friends Ken and Philip for their helpful posts about the black dial .







Huge congrats, my friend. It looks amazing on your wrist.

Awesome pictures too!

Incoming Daytona 116500LN!!

Killer pics. I have no doubt now, that black is the way to go. Is it still hard to get one from AD?

Congrats...Looks great! I also went through the "I have to have the white one", to eventually wanting and getting the black one. Also, I have the previous model white dial so it made sense to get the black. I still prefer the black now.
