Is there any difference between the black dial on the 116520 and the 116500?

kzm40 · 3 January 2018, 05:45 AM

Not that I'm aware of.

Yes. The 116500 subdials aren't as shiny. They are definitely more matte for legibility.

I found this quite noticeable when holding the two together.

I would like to see a 116520 with a 116500 dial. (Or just a 116500 with a SS bezel.) I'm sure it would look noticeably less shiny than a 116520.

You want D5

ratty · 3 January 2018, 08:25 AM

What is D5?

Ceramic bezel.

I think it looks way better than the 520 models, but recently there seems to be a big push on 116520 prices and desirability.

Even they're the same size, in real life some how the black ceramic Daytona looks smaller.

I thought the opposite

All 116500 will be marked on the 27 minute point with 2 lines after 25. A lot of the 116520 just had 1 mark on the 26 minute mark. Sub dials on the 116500 are easier to read.

No. As they are both out of my league!!!

GolfPunk · 3 January 2018, 09:16 AM

Yes. The sub dials are now grey not silver, plus the writing is more compact.

Ravager135 · 3 January 2018, 09:35 AM

The subdials contrast better on the ceramic bezel model.

I feel it's the opposite. The black dial with ceramic bezel make it appear bigger...

I agree.

To my eye a Sub looks bigger than a Daytona with a SS bezel.
