There's definitely room for both in a collection. The 500 is much more sporty, while the 520 is dressier and classic.

HorologyK · 12 December 2017, 10:04 PM

Ceramic for me. Just looks sportier and my steel bezel scratched very easily.

Between the ceramic and non-ceramic Daytona, I think the ceramic Daytona is stunning.

However, I will buy and wear the non ceramic one if I come across a good deal.

reloxt · 12 December 2017, 10:14 PM

I absolutely prefer steel for the black version. For the white, I think I would go ceramic...

travisb · 12 December 2017, 10:46 PM

Yes. The SS Zenith Daytonas are far and away my favorite.

I prefer the white D500, better protection, better size and better bezel contrast.

superdog · 12 December 2017, 11:34 PM

I like them both.

But I prefer the contrast, size, and style of the ceramic. It makes for a very elegant, sporty watch.

MCO1 · 12 December 2017, 11:45 PM

It's a Daytona both in the words of Cole Porter are "the top"! I ended up with a Daytona C so that's my favorite had I pulled the trigger on a 116520 when they were $10k I've no doubt that would be my favorite. I will concede that the non-ceramic bezel is a bit dressier and I could see owning a black one in the future to complement the white C.

Thus the reason why I much prefer the 116500.

I'd probably agree with that, and only add one to the beginning:

6263>16520>116500>116520

watchwatcher · 13 December 2017, 01:36 AM

I'm going to have to say no...I've had both and much prefer the ceramic.

Juantxo · 13 December 2017, 01:42 AM

I do. I have one of each and I prefer the one with steel bezel.

skkali168 · 13 December 2017, 03:27 AM

I like both. Must have both for the collection :)
