they are both stunning watches!! but I do think the new SSC500 will replace the all SS version in most peoples hearts, especially when it hits the market

that said, I wouldn't have a desire to rid myself of the SS for the SSC as both as equally stunning!

great pic!!

Thanx Tom, all the credit goes to Watchanish...
The Ceramic looks always better in real life than on the photo. But judging on the photo the old Daytona is lil more sexier IMHO.

can't argue with that!

Love the new ceramic, not a Daytona fan but that speaks to me and more affordable that the 6263 I really want.

Same here - have passed on a SS Daytona before but might give the new one a go. I think a lot of people who would like to land a 6263 might go that way also?

I second this Andrew!

Token74 · 17 March 2016, 11:37 PM

Love them both. I've always wanted a Daytona but the scratched bezel always put me off actually buying one, so the Ceramic was a no-brainer the second it was announced. But that doesn't take anything away from the SS bezel model, it's a wonderful watch, just not for me.

behardt · 17 March 2016, 11:39 PM

Wow, I actually like the SS bezel better with the white face. Maybe the black face will be different. Thanks for sharing!

Same here.

Cru Jones · 17 March 2016, 11:38 PM

with that sweater, both will do fine.

i do think, however, that the new black/white combo isn't as versatile as the prior version. that's not to say i prefer one or the other, it's just that the older can be worn in more situations, IMHO.

one of the reasons i prefer the black for the new DaytonaC.

When cleaned up, the full SS version will sparkle/shine a lot better, however, over time the ceramic bezel's longevity will show better. White dial looks a lot sportier while the ss bezel looks a lot dressier/flashier.

kilyung · 17 March 2016, 11:42 PM

I like the 116500 better because it makes the the watch appear larger than the 116520. Having said that, my wife prefers the 116520 because it's prettier.

...and I'm the opposite! Smaller is better for me and my 6.75" wrist. I'm not going to pretend that I don't like the new one, but I think it does lose some versatility as stated above. I prefer the new one in black, even though the black dial didn't get a refresh like the white.

520 for me!

texex91 · 17 March 2016, 11:43 PM

Ceramic by a mile for me...exactly what I was looking for in Daytona (well date would be nice too :-)

RolexAuthority · 17 March 2016, 11:48 PM

The new Daytona is totally stunning in every way

sickened1 · 17 March 2016, 11:49 PM

Yup, love that new DaytonaC. Heard there's a lot of pre-ordering going on.

Like both.. they should keep both models and classify them as Men's Daytona and Women's Daytona!

The more I look at the both the more different they start to look.

SS bezel looks dressier while ceramic bezel looks sportier

I am keeping mine too, your post of the side by side actually helped me to see theyre actually quite different and compounded my liking for the shinier variant :)

This exactly....they both have their place.

It's almost like Rolex released a totally new watch rather than replacing one.
