Great Review!

Very thorough review! I just bought one a few weeks ago and am kinda thinking I should have waited to see if they release a new one in '14 at Basel.
We'll see.

Thanks for such a timeless review! It makes me love my 1st ever Daytona watch even more! Now I prefer 116520 more than 16520 and save my hard earned dough!
