Hi,

What is the best choice for a Rolex Daytona 116520 black face

Does BK carry this?

Limit is around 1000 USD incl mods

As far as i know there is no best version of this, they all suffer from the modded seconds at 6 movement potential problems, you can chuck as much cash at it as you want but you wont solve that issue completly untill you chuck enough cash at it to buy a gen

Thnx for an answer i did not want to hear ;-(

Why not go for a nice vintage instead, for 1000$ spinmaster can build you one with gen parts. No issue with movement for the older ones as they had the seconds at 9.

there ya go...hope you can pull off a 30,000 dollar watch as opposed to the 8-10k watch you want to replicate

I am aiming for a vintage also to put side by side with my Franken DRSD in the box

But i really like a 116520 as well

Not too familiar with Daytonas but arent there any modern Daytonas with secs@9 that use the same movement as the Zenith?

Correct me if I'm wrong..

I am also looking out for a good enough Daytona..else it'll be gen for me..

there is NO decent 116520 or 16520 with sec@6! only way is to build one by yourself if you can spend $ 4000+

go with a vintage one if you want to have an accurate daytona, or buy the gen.

no other possibilties yet

best, J

You are in no-mans land in that price range. EIther buy a better existing rep for a lot less and be satisfied with its flaws, recognize that a major upgrade is $4k plus (if there is a decent case available anymore, or give in and buy the gen.

I found a site that has the 116520 with secs at the 9 and Asian 7750 movement for $369.95.

What else should I be looking for? Why is it so sought after?

secs@9 is not accurate. go vintage instead or risk or risk a sec@6 and hope it will work for a long time
