Well, I wouldn't, TBH. I just don't think you get enough of a bang for your buck going from steel to steel. Don't get me wrong, the 500 is a fantastic watch, but then again, so is your 520.
Now if you're talking moving up to gold or platinum, I'm all in. |

Seems expensive. Your 116520 is worth more

No way I will do it even if they give me $3K to trade. I way prefer my 520 to the 500.

Hard choice. I like and have the 500 but lately I've been drawn more to the 520 look with the metal bezel.

I would probably do that, but I don’t have £3000

You should be getting a brand new 116500 if you are giving up 116520 black dial and £3k.

No way!
I own a black 116520 and have owned both 116500 and would not do that trade.

Both awesome watches but 520 black is iconic that’s for sure

Three thousand pounds for a ceramic bezel doesn’t sound like a good deal to me.

I’d say maybe 1 to 1.5k but that’s about it.

I have both 520&500 white dial and no way I make that trade. I personally think the 520 more dressy and elegant design. Then 500C also beautiful but more sporty, my BLNR or SubC can void the sport line for me.
