LOVE that meteorite! Congrats on having landed it. I was so disappointed when they discontinued the dial this year.

Wow. That’s one heck of a trio of watches! I was so hoping to land one of the recent meteorite Daytonas before they were summarily discontinued and so disappointed that they were. A beautiful timepiece! You wear it well.

Let it go in the bubble but had to re-add the white one.

I love my panda but have been seriously considering adding the black dial to my collection. Which one do you end up wearing more??

You'll use both. What I like about the black dial is it has no bad angles. Whether head on or viewed at a glance where the white has glare etc, the black looks sharp and clear.

If I had to have only one it would be the black dial. I wear them pretty close to 50/50. 2 day cycle or so

10 years later re-added this as my daily after many ceramic versions. Blue lume, APH dial, and couldn’t be any happier! This is the most comfortable watch in the world for me, fits like a glove and would not change a thing

Nice Daytona! I've been seriously contemplating adding a 116520 in this configuration to go with my white 116500LN.

Something a little different. Notched older Rolex strap leather ends to accommodate the existing clasp without having to take the clasp apart.

Out in front of the service center? I thought I caught someone taking a wrist shot on my way to magnolia. Didn’t realize it was a 16520!
