I think the 16520 will be the next piece to slowly drift higher in value. There's a market for people who don't like the ceramic bezels. I predict we'll see those trading at 35K by the ned of the year.

Congratulations!
Great example


Just picked up one myself after a very long search. Couldn’t be happier.

White zenith and black ceramic are my favorites.

Thanks guys for all the positive comments! At some point I’d like to add a black dial ceramic 116500, but as far as a white dial one... I have found the one for me!

That is a beautiful watch, I actually like the Zenith arrangement of mini dials better then the 116520. Enjoy!

I'm a recent owner of a black dial ceramic 500. But I have to say that your configuration (steel bezel, white dial, and black sub-registers) gotta to be the best Daytona look. Wow. Congrats!

Congrats, I’ve been looking for an inverted 6 unpolished and papers and a certain bezel for a while now and as you said not easy to find at a decent price.

Congrats, such a unique peace. Use to have 116520 white first series ( 2001) , and eventually sold it . Not my favorite watch . I personally lean towards Sub family but man , this is really really one to think of in future . There are not so many there in a wild unpolished and that is a big problem for me . I sold also kermit at one point because it has polished edges that i cannot look anymore . Cheers enjoy. And Happy b .

The new generation of Rolex watches are great watches but the one you got belongs to Rolex’s group of legends.
