Great post Bo !!
I know the date is important for you & great to see you got it on your Black Daytona :). And it even comes with the limited edition engraved caseback.
You can "flip" your SD now :) lol
A Big congrats on your two Daytona's. My favorite of the two has to be the ROLEX one :)
Welcome back.

Congrats Bo.

Wear it in good health.

But, I prefer the first one, it even tells you that you are a "winner".

I loved the parody in the first post, Bo; you should have let it ride for a day or so and see how many flames you could ignite.

The 116520 is an absolute beauty and at MRSP your honour is intact.

That was funny. I saw that black watch and went WTF? That tale tale WINNER engraving and the silly date wheel. The thing looked hammered too. I was thinking " Bo is pullin' my leg".

I bought it on a flea market in Copenhagen after I got the book "The Rolex Report".

Simply HAD to study that fake IRL.

Dreadful thing when you handle it! Bracelet's all noisy, and it has SO many fake tell-tale signs besides the obvious ones.

Fx:
  • Polished lugs like on the 116520 but MATTE bracelet like on the very early 16520ies
  • Mirror edge chapter ring
  • Green hue to the crystal's sides (like the new Milgauss)
  • Non SELS

Just to name a few.

But nice to have it as 3-dimensional study object.
