I have both the black and the white one, and a WG racing dial. There are times I miss the steel bezel. So I’d say keep that combination as I’m keeping my WG.

I have (and plan to keep) a black 520. Would not trade up for ceramic. But would definitely add a white 500 if I was offered one at decent price!

Personally I’d take the ceramic any day of the week.
My father in law has the black 500 and I love how the light reflects off of the ceramic.

Great shot!

IMO non-ceramic looks more PM.

You have the best examples of both watches. I'd personally keep what you have.

They are both the same watches except for a ceramic bezel and a few other minor cosmetic changes plus over hyped price.

I prefer my 520. That said the white 500 is also beautiful, but not worth the premium over the 520 for me.

I am totally biased towards the Panda, but I would keep that 520.

It's personal preference. I have a circa 2015 black face 116520 acquired at retail from my AD, and it's perfect for me. I would not trade it for a 116500 in either dial color. The only way I'd trade it would be straight up for a Platona. It's really that good. It goes with a bathing suit all the way up to a tux. 116500 -- especially white -- is less versatile in that regard.

But no matter what, it's a lot of money. If you have it to spend, get what will make you happy. That's really all there is to it.
