Really depends on the condition on the 16520. If unpolished mint and full set I would go zenith. If not Daytona C. Metal polished bezel are scratch magnets and repolished bezel always look bad.

A white dialled Zenith would be my choice.

There’s no doubt both are incredible watches.
1) Seems like there’s a preference for modern on this sub-forum. 2) The Zenith with brushed lugs, patina, and different placement of seconds sub-register is just *chef’s kiss*. 3) There are far fewer unpolished 16520 Zeniths than there are DaytonaCs. 4) Even so, the White Dial 116500LNs will go down as a classic just like the Zenith. 5) Secondary market for both will continue to go bonkers. Happy to see folks out there who wear and enjoy both without tucking away. |

Maybe not in parity anymore. Just saw a new 116500LN (White) listed at $48k. I had to do a double-take. Wow.

I personally love the contrast of the black ceramic bezel against the white dial over the steel bezel. The black bezel also compliments the black subdial "circles" imo.
If it was a black dial watch, then it would be the Zenith for me. The steel bezel compliments the lighter subdial "circles" for me. |

Can’t get your 116500 factory brushed. I learned that the hard way.

If I had to choose right NOW, I think I would take the Zenith. White dial, latest model with most up to date bracelet.

Any pre-ceramic before any ceramic. I find the ceramic bezel too heavy looking for such a small and detailed watch.
