Black 116500 or White 116520?
Which would you choose and why, irrespective of cost.
Include 116520 black dial. |

I would go white for the contrast and I have a black dial sub already.

The consensus seems to be black 116520 and white 116500.. if only one I'd say black 116500.

Either 500 ahead of 520 in my opinion. The bezel and markers make such a difference. White or black is subjective. Have had both like black better now.

I may be a bit partial, but I like the 500 better than the 520 in either color. The ceramic bezel wins in either case.

I’ve had both white and black dial 116520 models and prefer the white between the two. But, I like the ceramic model more, so I’d go with the new black dial version.

Both if you can, will make a great pair or you can also do black 116520 & white 116500.

Black D500 = white 116520
I own both and if I had to choose, it would be a coin toss. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I read it wrong as usual. I'd go with the black 500, so take away my vote from the 520 and add it to the 500.
