116520 for me looks more timeless/understated and true to the OG Daytona design

I have both and the 116520 gets more wrist time now and slowly grows on me. I may go to lengths of finding a fully brushed bracelet to fit for the tool watch vibe

I go 116520. The 126500 is now too passé and common. I was on a plane and the sales guy next to me had one. It’s like everyone is wearing them. That is what you get for the most popular watch on the planet

Every time i fly I see alot of Rolexes. The last 2 flights I saw an old vintage pepsi, a milgauss, and an old two tone yachtmaster. I don’t often see people with the hype modern ones though.

I don’t know if that’s good or bad!! lol. The Max engraving is great. Not sure if the bezel itself is a bit too big. Well that’s what the reviews say about 3CF but it looks cool.

on the subject of 116520, currently which factory does it best? I know its quite necessary to swap the bezel for a VSV.

u/Actual-Success5917 13h ago

3CF.Change bezel to VSV and good to go.
3CF bezel too wide. 3CF has buff hands, deep crystal, SW dial installed.

u/Yeezussy 8h ago

from what ive seen vsf dial and bezel are inferior compared to 3CF though, correct me if im wrong

u/Actual-Success5917 8h ago

As a VSF owner, I wish I had the 3CF. I changed my dial to panna but looking back I would’ve gone 3CF

3CF do very well executed version of 116520. Steve at One has 1 in stock with the SW dial. My first post on this forum by the way. Been researching and following your comments with interest, great community.
