First of all huge congrats

I like many others preferred the white dial, however when trying on the black,
realised it was "the one for me"

Enjoy, it really is a super well balanced watch.

Thank you! Same here, was a white guy but became a black guy after seeing photos and the watch in the flesh.

Thanks! Once grey market prices became (somewhat) reasonable, it was an easy decision.

Congrats, what a beauty!

IMO the 116500-black is the best of the modern SS Daytonas, with the 116520-white dial a very close 1A.

Enjoy your first of what I'm sure may be many Daytonas!
