White dial 116520, which year do you prefer?

The later models are scrambled serial and the older models are not. Which one do you prefer? Is the transitional model (last year before moving towards 116500 ceramic) worth the extra premium?

Well since launch way back in 2000 the Daytona has just had cosmetic changes little more, even the ceramic apart from the bezel and a few other cosmetic changes is basically the same as the model launched back in 2000.Would I pay extra for the last model before ceramic introduction short answer no.

Transitional models either at the start or the end of production.P series,2000 at the end of the 16520 and beginning of the 116520 are sought after also last of the run 116520 transitional to 116500.
However all are nice watches whatever the year.
