Would you ever consider 116500LN in both white and black?

I have white and have been recently been tempted with picking up a black one but thinking it might be too much of a good thing ?!

Congrats.

One can never have too many Daytona's, but can I ask you when/why you would choose the Black 520 over the Black 500?

Wow. Just today I started taking pictures of mine because it doesn't get a lot of wrist time. I took an interest in the heritage of the piece and found it comfortable on the wrist. Never thought I was a Daytona person but the easy wear and allure of the Zenith got me to bite. Looking at yours now, I find them damn good looking too; something I don't think I've appreciated enough. Mine may not be on its way to market after all.

As a post script, I think I'm somewhere along the curve of becoming a watch geek because I was almost as moved by the mention of "complete sets," as I was by the image. Congratulations.

Congrats Ken!

Yes you are correct... the more the merrier. And especially if they are complete sets and mint! Both of mine still have the hologram caseback sticker
