Do all the ss Daytonas 'feel' the same on the wrist?
Aside from the bracelet differences - do all the steel modern daytonas feel the same on the wrist - whether its the ceramic bezel or not?
Weight, comfort, weight distribution, etc... |

I can share my feeling that my 116520 feels magically confortable on my wrist! Never in my life I found a better, a more comfortable, or a purer form of a watch than my Daytona . I think I'm in love.

No, different Daytona's have a different feeling on a wrist. This is my experience:
1) Gold Daytona on a leather strap - general feeling that watch is too small. 2) Daytona - C - really appropriate presence on the wrist and very nice watch (especially if it is a white dial) 3) Platona - very special watch. When you take it in your hand it is quite hard for brain to understand why it is so heavy. Very serious presence of the wrist and ultimate top end of Rolex. 4) WG Daytona on bracelet - heavier than SS but no special feelings. |

To answer you, yes the 116520 and the 116500 wear the same in terms of feel on wrist IMO.

Yes, the 116520 and 116500 wear the same. The differences are only cosmetic. Clasp is the same as well on the later 116520s.
Additionally, the late 116520 models leading up to the 116500s were also Green Tag/5yr, + - 2 secs accuracy |
