It all depends on the condition of the 1665.

Photos of the 1665, but my gut is no.

Try it on vintage forum, u might get a different answer. If u really like the Daytona, sure. It’s ur watch. Personally I won’t do it. I believe the 1665 is more rare n expensive than 116520. It also depends on the age n condition of the latter watch. The 1665 will be hard to replace.


I blame it on autoconnect.

Just my opinion - I’ve had plenty of Daytona’s and a couple of SD’s.

I think your SD is nicer than a 116520.

I’m sure the vintage enthusiasts would keep the 1665.

Now I wonder if maybe you bought the 1665, and 5 years later you’re kind of bored of it and excited to try something different.

If this is the case, I say do it.

Personally though, I am not sure that I would do the trade.

I feel like a 1665 might be harder to replace than a 116520 is to acquire.

Just my 2 cents.

Certainly more versatile as a daily wear.

I wouldn't.

I'm not into divers but I like 4-digit vintage plus I ditched the 116520 I had because I found it annoyingly difficult to read at a glance in most lighting conditions due to the glare and low-contrast hands, and I'm not even talking about the subdials. My vision at all distances is still (thankfully) perfect, btw.

If you like your watch to be legible enough to briefly glance at and tell the time immediately without thinking, there's a good chance the 116520 will disappoint you. It's a common complaint, so try before you trade if you choose to make it. I found the 116520 the most over-rated watch I ever owned.

The 1665 is worth about 5k more then the 116500 that’s what the guy was saying. You would be losing $5k.

I have neither but if I had the coin to buy either it would be 1665, value would not be my motivation but the vintage class of a 1665, it just looks amazing on the wrist and says something about the owner too..

Not even thinking about value, I just love the 1665 and the way it looks. No way would I do a trade. I have to add that I am a HUGE Daytona fan too and I'm saying that! Lol. Good luck on whatever you decide. Whichever watch makes you happier is the right choice.
