Daytona Zenith Patrazzi vs 116520 cream dial
The Zenith with light Patrazzi dial is from 1998 while the 116520 with light creamy/off-white dial is from 2001. Hard to say which one looks better for me.

Would like to see the cream dial compared to a white dial. Having trouble seeing the "creaminess" of the dial.

This dial is just a shade creamy. I actually have the same trouble, but it can be seen when compared against the whiteness of the normal white.

I never got warm to the 116520 due to its blingliness. Only until recently when I learnt about their creamy dials. This 116520 creamy dial looks much less bling, somewhat subtle like a Zenith white dial.

I much prefer the Zenith with its rusting subdials
