still looking for the right Daytona 16520

[athom]

Hi mates, I'm still looking for the right black 16520...I wish for only genuine and no service parts, an unpolished case, I don't really mind for which variation...How do you like those two ?

Many thanks !

Thanks and the very small 6 or long 6 I don't know how to call it on the A-serie bezel is only for those late 16520?

You have a daunting task ahead if you’ll be buying online, working from pictures only, and trusting the watch you get meets those requirements.

The only way is buying a 16520 from an original owner, private party who had never sent it in for service since purchase 20 years ago.

All else would take expert analysis that really requires having the watch in-hand and inspected.

x2. But to clarify, it's the photo of the top example that has the service bezel, not the "top" link, which shows the A-serial watch with what appears to be an original MK5 bezel.

Agree with the comments and recommend whoever you buy from allows for an inspection period. That's important aspect to understand on the stated terms/return policy. I just had my first experience of returning a piece earlier this week, based on an issue that was discovered during that period.
