The 16520 was very tough to find. With long waiting lists.
It is less the case with the 116520. And if you don't want to wait 3 months, you og on any collectors market, and you will find one in... 10 minutes!

SS Daytona 116520 waiting list diminishing?
I have to admit....got poisoned in the Rolex forum, although not onto vintage...yet. Tried calling 3 various ADs + 1 US boutique, 1 Lucerne AD to ask for SS 116520, summarizing the answers. 1. Have you purchase with us before? This watch is extremely limi...

Yes, my friend...totally forgotten the collectors market...
I'll check it out on both model and see, but I guess I may never find the real answer... This model has not been popular in this forum, and many dislike the bling-bling center links of modern Rolexes. I'm a sxxker for new and modern stuff..... I'll know t...
The most important is that it pleases you. And you can't go wrong with a Dayto.
I keep fingers crossed for you. Best, Nicolas
I was surprised to read that you are having trouble in finding...
... a 116520, and learn that this reference is scarce again. In my recent trip to Italy and France, I have been doing some window shopping and viewed steel Daytonas in many watch stores. I know that in the past the 16520 was very scarce and demanding long...
Best of both worlds, Abel, wonderful Patrizzi ring and ...
the white dial 116520 is also hard to get. Your posts are always a pleasure to read. Thanks for the info....I wish X-mas will come early this weekend, will see. Rgds Raymond
Thank you so much for your kind words Raymond! I appreciate them!...
... yes the Patrizzi dial was a very fortunate find. The white dialed one was my first Daytona and fullfilled an old dream. Each with ist own character... Both are sure keepers! I wish Santa will arrive early for you with yours Raymond! All the best! Abel...
Raymond,
here in Brazil is quite easy to find a 116520 in virtually any AD. The AD are forbidden to expose any ss daytona in the window, but if you enter the store and ask, they will have in stock. Cheers Daniel
Brazil is a nice, friendly, vibrant country, haven't been there yet...
definitely a vacation in future. Thanks for the info. Rgds Raymond
Brazil is a beautiful Country. I love Rio de Janeiro specially...
... the scenary is magnificent, awesome... the people so nice! What a good excuse to search for your Daytona there!! Good luck Raymond!!
Why do you want what everyone else has?
I say dare to be different, unique and special. There are many modern watches that are equally if not more impressive. :)
Thanks Ping for your input. I have shunt away from
Rolex for various reasons for a long time: volume, too many fakes, can't tell the differences for some of the models and many other brands copying their design. There are 2 reasons I am looking at this watch. I like to have 2 or more watches of each brand...
