This is like asking if you want steak or chicken for dinner. Two very different watches that are both great. Sometimes it might depend on mood/occasion when you'd want to wear a vintage Sub or a classic Zenith Daytona. And if you can only have one, it's a personal decision based on preference.
However, one thing would bug me about the 16520 ... that watch has been polished, IMHO, which in itself isn't a big deal ... except when a seller claims otherwise and is trying to charge more because of it. It's an old story, but "unpolished" is way over-used and very often inaccurate on these old watches. That example is certainly nice, but I see a watch that has been polished.
Unless your 16520 has lugs and crown guards that look like this example, it's most likely been polished. These are borrowed photos of a confirmed untouched 16520. Look how thick and sharp these lugs are.
