Hello all,

I am close to pulling the trigger on a two-tone Daytona with the black dial, but for the life of me can’t decide between the current version 116503 (with the updated bezel), or the previous version 116523 that was discontinued.

If I get a later version of the discontinued model, it’s essentially the exact same watch (same movement with parachrome hairspring and even ROLEX rehaut). The difference is just the bezel font and design.

In general I would prefer a newer watch, but the difference here seems pretty minuscule and it looks like I can get the discontinued version for $2k-$3k less than a current model.

The current version is on the left and the previous version is on the right. What do you guys think?
