THE watch you want!

If I had to leave only one comment on this platform, it would be on the Daytona 116520, a simply magical watch. No matter the dial, black or white, this watch has given me nothing but pleasure since I bought it from a person who, by pure chance, lived near me. After several weeks of searching, I finally managed to get hold of the rare gem. The first impression is its dominance, and everyone generally talks about it when they put it on their wrist. It was in perfect condition at the time, not to say new, and even after three years of ownership and new scars, it still accompanies me as often, even as I write these lines. For me, it is the perfect variation of the Daytona, which perfectly evokes vintage, modern, and timeless. It is waterproof, with an in-house movement which was a notable asset at the time, and which pushed some to completely shun the Zenith version (16520). In short, you can't go wrong with this piece that synthesizes the collection, the "collectible" spirit quite specific to Rolex, and the vintage, while being very modern. No mistake possible with a Daytona, and even less with this version which will patina better (in my opinion) than a ceramic version, whose bezel will never move unlike the case! In short, total satisfaction, go because you have to be neutral even if the goal of the platform is to highlight customers and not brands: possible criticism of the omnipresent mirror polished aspect on this version, the recognizable aspect, the very high production which probably makes it the most frequent and widespread Daytona (to be put into perspective, I am only speaking from personal observation). As we say with some collector friends: "Dayto, it's Dayto!"
