owned a SS daytona, also owned a TT sub for 20 years.
no more TT for me. imho, the SS Daytona have always been the coveted, not to say the others aren't nice but they do not have the cult status that the SS version had.

Tough choice indeed! As a proud 116523 owner, I still lust after the SS model whenever I see it.
I am very happy with what I have though, you really cant go wrong with either. |

It's up to personal taste and preference but in my book the 16520 is the most beautiful of the two (and also the one that would be a better investment).

The 16520 with the white dial gets my vote. Would go for an A or P serial with solid end links and Luminova.

The statement makes sens to me too just i thought i could have some different points of view among our community ;) (i guess that's one of the reason this forum exists)
Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts! Very appreciated |
