Im deciding between the a 2007 SS Daytona complete with papers and a brandnew 2019 Daytona ceramic in black dial. Price difference between the two is about $ 5k. Both are from resellers ($16k for the 2007 and about $21k for the 2019 ceramic) since i know i will not have a chance from my local AD. Which would you choose between the two?

I prefer the 116500.

HogwldFLTR · 15 February 2019, 01:57 PM

500 will look better with time, imho. The 520 already looks worn. Your call!!!

I own both those models and prefer the 116500. My wife is wearing the 116520 now. Can’t go wrong with either.....just not keen on those premium prices though. Good luck!

116500 looks much nicer imo

116500 would be an easy call for me!

Will the $5k extra be worth it for the Ceramic daytona?

I have a 11500 and now am eyeing the 116520. I suppose you will always want the one you don't have.

subtona · 15 February 2019, 03:26 PM

Black dial black bezel. No contest.

sensui · 15 February 2019, 04:12 PM

I like the 116520 here.....white I would go with the 116500. I like the way the 116520 wears smaller on the wrist.

Mr. Superlative · 15 February 2019, 05:57 PM

Definitely prefer the newer ceramic 500.

101031-28 · 15 February 2019, 06:30 PM

Tough call, but I would go with the black 116520

Phrank · 15 February 2019, 06:49 PM

Had the same decision to make a year ago - always wanted and prefer the 116520, not a fan of the ceramic bezel IMO

shalako · 15 February 2019, 06:52 PM

116500 for me.

andyxxx · 15 February 2019, 06:57 PM

Nobody likes scratches, but the 520 bezel soon looks worn and is much more noticeable than the other scratches you will probably pick up.

Drove me mad -so I sold.

500 any day.

Alex6340 · 15 February 2019, 06:57 PM

A can not think about paying 20k for an 11 and something k watch.

I mean with a bit more than 20k you can’t get an entry level Patek.

First picture is definitely the nicer watch.

Still trying to get my reference knowledge better folks, sorry

Kpiyaratt · 15 February 2019, 07:25 PM

116520 for black dial.

ecdc · 15 February 2019, 09:25 PM

116520 straddles the dressy/sporty line better because of the bezel, whch looks more dressy and elegant. 116500 is more of a pure sporty-looking watch. If you want a one and only, or at least a watch that works well in all situations, then I'd say the 116520 is the better choice.

500 all day. Easily the better looking and more versatile of the two.

JPS · 15 February 2019, 10:18 PM

500 without any hesitation!

m j b · 15 February 2019, 11:40 PM

For less money, you could get one in white gold. GOLD!

Me, personally, I'm just not a fan of the ceramic Daytonas. Sub, sure, GMT, absolutely. The 116520 has always been, and always will be, a classic.
