Daytona dial swap
I know that mods to a Rolex are generally frowned upon, but I’m curious to know if anyone has ever put a dial for a white 116500 on a 116520... I may be the odd man out, but I prefer the dial on the newer model and the bezel on the older one.

I’d like to see it, sounds like it would work...I would think if one wanted a white dial with black sub rings the 16520 would fit the bill

Why not just get a white 16520... it would have that look.

Agree with previous posters. Why not just get a 16520. It's definitely what I want to get!

Whilst a great watch, and the Zenith based 4030 movement is very good, I firmly believe that the In House Rolex 4130 movement is superior.

The 16520 wins over the 116500 or 116520 in my mind due to the brushed lugs, less flashy / more classic

The ability to hack the movement in the new version I found particularly useful. I owned both and as you say, about similar in accuracy. |

Current market price of the 16520 is the negating factor in acquiring one.... I like the 5 digit model much more than the other two, but buying one is not in the cards right now... I bought a 116520 in 2014, but traded it after four years for a pair of Rolex that I like and wear much more than I did the Daytona... I don’t miss the Daytona, but something made me think of swapping dials yesterday and getting that done would be a much more cost effective route to take for basically the same look.
