On a whole, would this ref 16520 be considered quite rare amongst the other Daytonas and did they all have the Zenith movement?
how many questions !!
as a matter of rarity ( steel model only ) my ranking is the following :
1) porcelain ( aka "porky" ) dial mk1 (5 lines-floating ) on R cases only ;
2) black or white ( non "porky" ) mk1
3) black or white mk2 ( 4 lines ).
4) 5 lines with inverted "6" ( mk3 and mk4 ).
about the other marks .. a production estimate is not easy.
