116520 is an awesome watch. If you wouldn’t have any heartache letting go of the Hulk, go for it.

My friend gave me the casing so it "feels" like new.

Here is the watch on my hand. Feels very comfortable and did not need to change out/add any links since my friend's wrist size is almost like mine.

Have a great weekend ahead to everyone..!

Cheers.

Congrats!

A 115620 all the way. The hulk is a fad

Fleetlord · 19 May 2018, 04:14 PM

That was a fair deal.

Congratulations! Welcome to the Daytona Club

Simon_e · 20 May 2018, 05:04 AM

Congratulations. The daytona is the conisseurs Rolex of choice.

Stevec14 · 20 May 2018, 05:34 AM

Great deal. Well done and enjoy the new one....

Beckster · 20 May 2018, 06:50 AM

Well done and congrats! If you really miss the LVc you can easily find one. The 116520 is really beautiful and comfortable on the wrist. Mine says hi!

Well done! I am sure you won’t regret this move. Beautiful Daytona

My white 116520 says hi

aproo · 20 May 2018, 11:11 AM

Thanks everyone for helping me with the decision and of course my friend who was willing to break up his pair of "twins" to help me achieve mine.

Glad to be part of the Daytona family and absolutely love the watch. I like the fact that it can be my daily beater, looking both professional and sporty at the same time.

Cheers.

riverrat · 20 May 2018, 12:03 PM

I picked up the same watch a couple months ago and wear it every day during the week. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine!

arosado · 20 May 2018, 01:39 PM

Congrats!!!

Is you want it, go for it! The Daytona will always be desirable if you don't love it.

You'll be cold-calling for months if not years for a Hulk w/o AD history.

1665fan · 25 April 2019, 12:12 PM

That 116520 had been polished in the past, the bezel numbers are rounded and shinier than non polished examples

Rolex actually still makes the 116520 bezel. You can pay $250 and have it replaced. I have confirmed this.

Consider the Daytona and whomever can cold call and get me a hulk in 20, I’ll pay you a finders fee lol

How times have changed!

JParm · 29 October 2019, 12:11 AM

I'm biased, as you can see in my signature line...however, if this was for the CERAMIC daytona, then it would be a yes.

Does a new bezel fix the polished case also?
