What are people thoughts on the Rolex Daytona. Looking to get something new and the 116520 appeals to me in the white face. Not looking for someone to make my decision but always good to get people views.

I’ve always liked it. It’s a little more understated than the pandas, and there’s a bit of an old money vibe now as well. Obviously the bezel will scratch up more easily than the ceramic version, but I haven’t really found it to be a problem.

I think it’s a flex. But not in the bad way. I see it and I know it’s a flex but it’s a flex I wish I had myself. I like it.

I prefer the 16520 with the Zenith movement. Doesn’t have polished lugs, thinner subdial rings and indices, seems a little slimmer and angular whereas the 116520 is more rounded and shiny.

Came here to say I prefer the 16520 Zenith as well. But OP, the reference you like is also nice. If it’s what you like and you have the cash to do it, I highly doubt you’ll ever look at your wrist and regret it

Ended up going with a GMT2. Really happy with the purchase.

Get it if you like it, but to me the chronographs are too busy.

If you strip out the hype and waitlist/AD games nonsense, it’s actually a great chronograph for the following reasons: 1) It’s a column wheel vertical clutch chrono movement which are in my mind superior to cam / lateral clutch movements 2) even with that it’s thinner than most other chronos and wears great.

The downside I’ve heard is that a lot of people complain about the legibility. But that’s the only issue I’ve heard.

It’s too bad it’s hard to separate the watch from the hype because I like it but the state of the market around it turns me off.

smart

A coherent view and post - wish more Rolex people were like you

Get it. If that’s what you like and value, and it also means something to you, reward yourself

Finally got my hands on one. I was expecting it to feel much cheaper than it does. Definitely still get the quality feel that Swatch is known for. The weight is nothing like a real speedy, but still looks great imo. I went with the Mission to Pluto as I didn’t want one that looks too much like the real thing, and the Mars/Sun versions had the gauche white strap imo. Overall pleased for $260.
