Best Automatic Daytona

What is the favorite automatic SS Daytona here? The original 16520 with the 4030 Zenith movmt with brushed lugs. The 4130 first in house 116520 with polished lugs and steel bezel. The Daytona C 116500 with the 70 hour power reserve, ceramic bezel and sharper lugs than the 116520? Curious as it’s the unofficial flagship of the marque.

Voted for the 116500, but I do love the brushed lugs of the 16520. Trying to find the courage to get mine brushed out.

I have owned all three generations. The evolution over the last 30 years is subtle yet one of continuous small tweaks. My 116500 black dial is my favorite now, especially on the Oysterflex bracelet I have it on.
