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.

Tough call, but 500 for me if the black dial.

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

No way would I make that trade. The 116520 is an awesome piece.

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.
