Daytona 16520 / 116520

[bertieng]

Do the old sytle (skinny) 116520 hands share the same specs as that used in the 16520 ie. the hole sizes are the same despite the movement used is different.

Any ideas? Daytona experts please chim in.

Thanks.

I do not have the hand sizes for either, but the movement in the 16520 was a modified Zenith (Rolex calibre 4030), while the movement in the current 116520 is Rolex's in-house calibre 4130. Completely different movements, so I doubt the hands would be interchangeable. However, both sets of hands for the 116520 -- the original narrow & the later/current wide -- ARE interchangeable since the movement is the same.

116520 hands will not fit the El Primero Zenith movement.

116520 hands will not fit the El Primero Zenith movement.

I think the 16520 hands won't fit either.

Just wonder if the 16520 and 116520 hands share the same pinion hole size.

Thanks.
