Well Eric, that watch 116520 is a stunning watch, very clean IMO! That's my favourite Daytona actually, I don't go for the black bezel etc. It has been discontinued in 2016, so it's a keeper!!!!
Keep it , it has a perfect dial, the grey circles at the registers are much much nicer than the ones at the Zenith or the ceramic Daytona. I have one and at my opinion if I had to keep only one watch from my collection, it would be definitely this one 😊
I have that exact watch, and I also have the 116500 with ceramic. I know what you mean about the 116520, but I would caution you against selling it. I’ve noticed the 116520 continues to go up in value, and I suspect it’s because of the in-house movement combined with the superior bracelet. Plus Rolex continues to make similar bezels but only in precious metals. Rolex views the steel/metal bezels as higher end pieces. And the 116520 does have a level of elegance above the 116500. It’s dressier while still being sporty. Over time the 116520 is going to become a HOT watch. Keep it, as I have done.
Great vid Eric as always! I'm getting a 116520 black this week and went through some of the same decisions. The Zenith is more collectable and more romanic so it has more charm, but the new bracelet (I went newer model with the long clasp) makes the difference for me. I have a 5 digit gmt and sub on the old bracelet and I just don't want another 5 digit bracelet. Everything can't be bought with an eye for collectability. Two raddley bracelets are enough for me. So I want the steel bezel daytona with the solid bracelet and clasp and went with that. Something to think about. Enjoy whatever you do my friend!
Eric, I love Daytona's, I think the steel Daytona is the most awesome of all of them, due to the fact that of 10 Daytona's made 6 are two tone, 3 are full gold and one steel. I would suggest hold this one, wait until you find the Zenith movement Daytona.
Because I'm such a fan of the Daytona, my opinion is to keep it as a collection piece and get the zenith. Build a Daytona collection with a reference from each era.
I wish I saw this vid on my birthday when it came out! Because you know what. I used to hate Daytonas but I've come to appreciate them deeply. My grail is the last Zenith, so the one before this one, but with the infamous "Patrizzi dial". I remember my dentist used to wear that exact one and I always remembered it. I fell in love with that weird brownish patina on the subdial rings. But when it comes down to it, any pre-ceramic Daytona to me is just gorgeous now.
Thanks for sharing! Only you know what to do with the Daytona! You answered your own question. We all go through this dilemma on our endless journey. All the best and stay safe!
Hi Eric, been following your vids since you were with CRM. My birthday past a while ago and I was thinking of trading my 116520 Black dial. Instead, I kept my Daytona and added a 116613LB Smurf dial (on RubberB). But in my research to determine my 116520's market value, I realized i had a APH Dial with Chromalight. Which is apparently rarer and more valuable. Eric, am I mistaken and this is not really anything that special? Or is my 116520 worth like 2-3k more than a standard 116520?
Hi Eric, love your work , keep up the good content. I have a question: my ROLEX just offered me a new 2022: Daytona Rose gold,/ Ivory dial- ceramic bezel, on Oysterflex at retail price. I'll be looking to flip it unworn, full box /papers etc, is the combination in good demand in the market ? could you offer an opinion on its possible resell price ? I dont want to passup the allocation from my AD since they may dicard me in the future if I dont show up. Your opinion means a lot , cheers JFC (a fan from Canada)
Well how much did you pay for this watch Eric? I have the black version. Didn’t get the white because I WILL get the ceramic white panda at some point.
Eric, you’re the kind of guy who gravitates towards alway being seen with “heavy hitters” on your wrist. You’ll always skip watches like these in your watch box. My advice, keep the watch. They’re getting hard to find in good condition. This watch looks so classy with a white linen shirt. Why sell it only to add lots of cash for a Zenith Daytona?
Hey Eric, can I ask you which brand Kabbalah red string you are wearing and where you bought it from? The quality looks very good compared to others I’ve tried. Thanks bro and keep up the good work😎
I am not sure why but I think the stainless steel bezel Daytona looks better with a black dial, and the Ceramic looks better in white. I could be biased as I have them.
116520 is a more wearable/durable watch, so it depends what your intentions are. I also think 116520 is a bigger potential for price increase as the steel Zenith seems to have plateaued a little
Dear Eric, please keep up the good work!!!!!!!!! What do you think of Breitling 41 Chro in Steel/Gold. I came across it and fell in love. But I now have a leather and pure steel bracelet with gold bezel. What do you think? B01 movement. Kind regards, Phil from Germany
Eric: now don't go crazy on me here... Me thinking: it's ok Eric we"ve all done things that we regret... Eric: a Hublot big ban... Me: BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
It's kinda a 2 part question so it deserves a 2 part answer. 1) That one you're wearing's gotta go out and land on a wrist that'll love it. 2) The Zenith seems to be you're heart's desire...(at least at the moment). So...that's it. I don't know your dial preference...Panda, Newman, but whatever... -Just let that one go to someone who'll treat it like a princess.
Great watch, whether it’s with a black or white dial, the one to have is 2014/2015 the last two years they made them and when they changed the lume from green to blue, and preferably with an APH dial! 👍
Eric, nice video. Keep them coming!!! On your question about the Daytona, I share your feelings,I had the one you have and same as you I didn't stop my harth from beating, sadly the latest ceramic is the same story for me. I'm on the fence with my white ceramic, it's great as an investment but I don't know if I should sell it and get something that else???I love the movement but I hate that you can't read the time...
I'd say go for the last of the pre-ceramic with the minty blue lume, you don't need the Zenith version and besides this is a better movement than those. I don't care for steel/ceramics on a sports type watch, and they've made them too large anyway.
Go get the Panna cream version of this watch, p k y series with slim hands and the bezel from the 16520, but rolex movement and silver subdials, prices of yellowy cream dial has made $$$ at auction
Eric, whether to sell it depends on if it’s one of the “typo” dials. If it is, I’d keep it. Three months or so ago a “typo” 116520 sold at auction for 65k.
I would probably keep it. They’re definitely going to get more expensive as more and more ceramic Daytonas go on the market. It’s very likely that Rolex isn’t going to make any more of these steel bezel Daytonas. At least not in the next 20-30 years.
Mr Meaner I never said it was rare but they’re not exactly common either. While Rolex makes a million matches per year steel Daytonas are only a small fraction of that amount. Otherwise you wouldn’t have pay double the retail for a steel ceramic Daytona. I said they will become more expensive as we get further from 2015/2016. Also as time goes on the amount of these Daytonas in mint condition will go down. Look at how much a mint 16520 costs.
I also agree with the dude who said that the Zenith Daytona is not a true Rolex. Even if it's value is higher. I want a Rolex to have a Rolex movement. The Zenith being "worth the money" as you put it, contradicts your previous argument that it doesn't give you that "fire". Is it about the value? Or the fire? At the end, you seem to over think if you like it or not.. Personally, I find it stunning. Cheers!
I sold the same watch a few years ago and have been regretting since. I think you should keep it until you found another special one as its replacement. BTW do you think 116618LB is a keeper? I love it but just don’t wear it often enough. And I’m thinking of selling it to trade for a 116508 green dial. What do you think?
I think 116618LB (especially the sunburst dials) is a sleeper, don’t see that many and I personally believe their value is more stable than the price of 116508. If you’re looking to trade for something with potential of growth I would say consider 116509 blue dial. If you’re going for the looks I would take the 116508.
Eric, I have a question for you. I’m looking at a pretty clean green sub(hulk) for $13,500 with no box and papers.not sure if I should buy without warranty card. Btw, great video as always!
I bought a Zenith Daytona new from an AD in 1999. That's a story! Question: what Rolex will fit alongside that Zenith Daytona and will be the equivalent in conversation piece? I was thinking the white gold gmt-master ii with Meteorite dial. Comments?
You can’t go wrong with keeping it. I would also pick up the Zenith if it comes along. It is also a great knock around watch, which you won’t want to do wit a nice Zenith.
Obviously from a pure investment standpoint the Hublot rose gold Big Bang wasn’t a great trade, but it’s still a great looking watch to this day. Totally understand why you would have made that trade.
Eric, as you already have the ceramic one (I bought a white dial last week as well ) I suggest you trade it in and buy a zenith Daytona. This is at least what I would do if I were you. Regards from Italy 🇮🇹
I bought 2 months ago a 2017 NOS 116520 chromalight black dial,I also have the ceramic white daytona but the 2017 kills it!!! Love the older with the black chromalight dial
Eric, it sounds like you wanted the watch until your boy convinced you didn’t, and that you need a more exotic version of the same thing. Something that wasn’t actually on your radar. Do you really think you’ll love the same watch more, because it has a Zenith movement? Maybe, but I’m a bit disappointed in how easy it seems you were influenced by what someone else thinks is appropriate for your collection.
Yeah, I kind of felt the same way. Don't let someone else's opinion sway you so easily. If it does, I would question whether you had the right reasons for purchasing a watch in the first place.
I get your friend’s point. Even though the Daytona is an important piece in the watch scene it’s also getting a bit boring. If you don’t feel a connection with the piece I think you know what to do 😉
No difference ?? I Prefer Gold, steel is all hype by the manufacturer . It’s not luxury , if it isn’t Gold or Platinum. Just my opinion. Keep up the great work .
Hi Eric, love your show. But I would like to know what is the fascination with Zenith Daytonas, I just don't get it. I can understand that when you have some very expensive watches, that maybe a Rolex steel daytona might seem a bit average. But that's OK. I have a couple of expensive to me watches also, but the watch I wear most is my Speedmaster. I am starting to feel that more dressy watches interest me more these days though, as steel sports watches are all looking the same from 5 yards away. I'm looking out for a Breguet or a Blancpain. I don't think anybody pays any attention to sports Rolex or the likes anymore. They have gotten very common and there for not interesting any more. A victim of there own success I would say. Anyway I wish I was in Miami, weather looks great, pissing it down here in N. Ireland
I'm not a fan of either the Zenith or this reference. Looks quite plain and ... unspecial. My vote is to sell it any get your heart's desire. On another note, saw your video with Roman and re-subscribed to your new channel. Good luck on your own endeavor!
I think your friend is right.. I see a patrizzi being for you!! I will say I do prefer a chromolight over the new ceramic bezel and possibly in a black dial for you... Best Daniel
The Zenith El Primero Split-Second Chronograph C713 or C714 looks awesome... both COSC movement. If the Rolex Daytona doesn’t give you that positive ENERGY, sell it for the right price.
Fully understand your problem. I have the same watch and really wished I had bought the black faced one, but I have a submarina so went for the white face. Should have bought both black and white of course for about £14,000 for the two. To add insult to injury, like your dad I had the chance for the Zenith movement but chose the Rolex movement, both the same price! Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Love the videos, my vote is you keep the Daytona. P
1000000% KEEP, my grail watch and a girl can dream....i prefer it more to the ceracrhome and the gold daytonas..its just silent killer/stealth wealth watch Zenith is nice..u can always trade this one and buy a zenith lol
Keeper all day long ! let a newer ceramic model go in its place ! id always keep the discontinued models first ! Great watch Eric you know your keeping it ! LOL!
I totally get it bro, I have a few beautiful watches in my collection that I just dont wear. They just look better to me in my box than they do on my wrist.
I had the opportunity to get a Zenith Daytona, I passed on it because of how jangly the bracelet was. I don't regret not buying it, as I personally think regret is a wasted emotion. There is nothing you can do about past missed opportunities.
Tengo un Daytona acero pero con el Dial negro! He visto los cerámicos pero no me gustan! Vendelo solo si lo cambias por el Zenith. Saludos Eric! Aquí estámos como cada semana!
Zenith is so underrated. If they only up the power reserve and adjust a few aesthetics of their watches, I feel Zenith and Grand Seiko will be the next wave of brands to get ultra popular in the next decade that will sit comfortably next to Rolex as a competitor.
Wowzers... of you can get your hand on a 95 zenith for 13.5k it must be fake... non zenith ones from 2005 onwards currently go for atound 19k GBP (24k USD)... if it has box and papers buy it right now!
@@dominikhaendly7712 yeah, it is a NOS. So box and papers. Non zeniths are more expensive, I will push for 12k, if I can get that price I will get it. Thanks for the comments guys!
Hey Eric. I would keep it. ITS A DAYTONA.. lol. But I understand ur in the watch business.. Every watch a have bought I still own. I just can’t seem to let go of any of them even tho Toying with the idea of trading up. Keep up the great work.
If you already have the white dial ceramic daytona, I guess your best option is either to flip the white dial 116520 for a zenith black dial daytona or the black dial 116520. Personally, I think black dial daytonas are classier and easier to read the time. If money is no object to you, keep it and hunt for a zenith black dial! Prices for these babies will only continue to hike as they are already discontinued.
Let’s go, bro. Zenith all day. The small navy sub-dials has a better contrast anyways. You know this though, because with the exception of the hublot-ation(lol) you have good taste.
Keep it and ice it out! - Seriously go with your heart trade it against a Zenith movement Daytona. Great video as always - a good start to the weekend!
Gold ceramic Daytona champagne dial, on oyster flex. Zenith will feel cheaper to you. I came up in the Zenith Daytona era. The 116520 feels more solid and luxurious.
It sounds like a Zenith is what your heart is craving. Go with your heart Eric.
4 digit or nothing
@@RICHIELUXURY nothing then please

The off-center sundials and silver color kill this watch. Either zenith or ceramic but the 116520 is the red-headed step child.

DAYTONA is THE most ICONIC watch ever made!!!! KEEP IT and also buy the Zenith Daytona!!
Come on,, Speedmaster is the most iconic watch ever made. Especially a chrono
You make the best watch videos. You're the reason I pulled the trigger on my first rolex
You need one Daytona in your collection.
Nice video mate
Great watch, whether it’s with a black or white dial, the one to have is 2014/2015 the last two years they made them and when they changed the lume from green to blue, and preferably with an APH dial! 👍

The white dial ceramic makes me real happy though!
Nice watch Eric but I’d trade it for the Zenith if that’s what your truly wants. What are your thoughts on the 116523 two tone Daytonas? Thanks! 🥃
I'd say go for the last of the pre-ceramic with the minty blue lume, you don't need the Zenith version and besides this is a better movement than those. I don't care for steel/ceramics on a sports type watch, and they've made them too large anyway.
Keep it buddy. Won't stop you from getting a Zenith as well.
Every true collector has a Daytona in his collection I say sell it long as you replace it with another Daytona. That watch is 🔥🔥🙌🏿🙌🏿
This is definitely a keeper! Great piece for your collection!
If you are going to have one of these, you need the APH error dial version.
Definitely a keeper piece 👌
Go get the Panna cream version of this watch, p k y series with slim hands and the bezel from the 16520, but rolex movement and silver subdials, prices of yellowy cream dial has made $$$ at auction
Keep it!! It's a history part you've got
feb 18 - what is the status on this Daytona today Eric ? that is the piece that is # 1 on my list . be safe . ~ JDS/CT
It is very subtle and old school. No punch especially w casual clothes so agree but would def keep it as it is a classic.
Eric, whether to sell it depends on if it’s one of the “typo” dials. If it is, I’d keep it. Three months or so ago a “typo” 116520 sold at auction for 65k.

Hey erick, should I get a G-SHOCK for my collection? For investment purposes of coarse..
depends which one
Nothing like a 16520. Get an "A" or early "P" series and you get the (SEL) solid end link bracelet, and the luminova dial. The best of both worlds.
Depends on the profit?
Eric, I have a question for you. I’m looking at a pretty clean green sub(hulk) for $13,500 with no box and papers.not sure if I should buy without warranty card. Btw, great video as always!
Thats about market price. It's not bad without card and all
Watch Eric , thank you very much for replying.
I would grab that watch, get the service papers from Rolex on the next service and buy yourself a Rolex box; you’re good to go mate!
If a watch doesn’t give you that “special” feeling sell it and buy something that does....
If you don't need the money, why not hang on to the watch until the zenith comes along?
black dial looks better?
What is the red bracelet you’re wearing?
Great video as always Eric,, your chanel is just the best!
Go for the Zenith. Always like your videos man. Keep up the good work! Greatings from The Netherlands!

Get a Zentih , I have the 16523 Floating Dial , have to say though the lume has gone and I dont wear it , straps a bit tinny on those 88 models
green dial is bad ass!! Stay safe Eric!
Must keep bro👍amazing watch eric keep pushin 1 million subs lets get it❤🙏

How about the Daytona APH Dial? Is it for real? Is it more valuable?
White dial Daytona is a keeper. Beautiful watch. Good story. Cheers.
You have surpassed this level of watch my man. Your in the $20K and up club. Once you go AP its hard to go back.
AP gang
Once you go AP and have it serviced you got right back to Rolex robustness. = )

I am starting to feel that more dressy watches interest me more these days though, as steel sports watches are all looking the same from 5 yards away. I'm looking out for a Breguet or a Blancpain. I don't think anybody pays any attention to sports Rolex or the likes anymore. They have gotten very common and there for not interesting any more. A victim of there own success I would say. Anyway I wish I was in Miami, weather looks great, pissing it down here in N. Ireland
Get the Zenith!!!! And another great vid, Eric! You the man!
Excellent content, Giorgia Mondani.
Keep it man, this was my grail for years until I got one. It’s nothing flash but a serious watch.
Dan McKeown it’s a woman watch lol
Don't sell it keep it until you find the watch you want, I've been very lucky to have had two black dial Daytona's
I sold one and kept the other.
How much more upside on the Zenith"s? Haven't they run too far too fast?
ehhh. They have settled a bit.
I'm not a fan of either the Zenith or this reference. Looks quite plain and ... unspecial. My vote is to sell it any get your heart's desire. On another note, saw your video with Roman and re-subscribed to your new channel. Good luck on your own endeavor!
I think your friend is right.. I see a patrizzi being for you!! I will say I do prefer a chromolight over the new ceramic bezel and possibly in a black dial for you... Best Daniel
This is peek Eric. This is peek 2020. Keep keeping it real Eric. I hope to see that El Premiero movement Daytona in the collection very soon.
How much could you get for that watch Eric?
The Zenith El Primero Split-Second Chronograph C713 or C714 looks awesome... both COSC movement. If the Rolex Daytona doesn’t give you that positive ENERGY, sell it for the right price.
sell
Fully understand your problem. I have the same watch and really wished I had bought the black faced one, but I have a submarina so went for the white face. Should have bought both black and white of course for about £14,000 for the two. To add insult to injury, like your dad I had the chance for the Zenith movement but chose the Rolex movement, both the same price! Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Love the videos, my vote is you keep the Daytona. P
1000000% KEEP, my grail watch and a girl can dream....i prefer it more to the ceracrhome and the gold daytonas..its just silent killer/stealth wealth watch
Zenith is nice..u can always trade this one and buy a zenith lol
How YOU doin'?
How is steel considered stealth wealth ?
stealth wealth 😂 it’s steel...not white gold
@@YanikCoen it says stealth not steel
@@buddastud5534 stealth welath is ability to drop that kind of cash on a non white gold or blingy watch
Another great Vid Bro. Crazy delayed but all your stuff is 🔥🔥. Beautiful watch but so is the Zenith. You can't go wrong either way to me Bro.
What do you mean by delayed? I usually drop wed-thurs. Thank you for watching!
@@WatchEric I was delayed tuning in, is what I mean.
Keeper all day long ! let a newer ceramic model go in its place ! id always keep the discontinued models first ! Great watch Eric you know your keeping it ! LOL!
Skip the Zenith and get the white gold with blue dial.....
Thanks Eric!
I totally get it bro, I have a few beautiful watches in my collection that I just dont wear. They just look better to me in my box than they do on my wrist.
Well said!
I had the opportunity to get a Zenith Daytona, I passed on it because of how jangly the bracelet was. I don't regret not buying it, as I personally think regret is a wasted emotion. There is nothing you can do about past missed opportunities.
Tengo un Daytona acero pero con el Dial negro! He visto los cerámicos pero no me gustan! Vendelo solo si lo cambias por el Zenith. Saludos Eric! Aquí estámos como cada semana!
You should organize some kind of giveaway Erick. It did the trick for you years ago it gave you something, let someone else experience that too.
Zenith is so underrated. If they only up the power reserve and adjust a few aesthetics of their watches, I feel Zenith and Grand Seiko will be the next wave of brands to get ultra popular in the next decade that will sit comfortably next to Rolex as a competitor.
Lol
LOL @da beginning. I think (such expensive) watches should be ones that are really what you crave. Otherwise it is indeed more of an investment.
I got offered a '95 daytona zenith with white dial two tone for 13.500, what do you think about that deal?
Better be minty with papers for that price
Wowzers... of you can get your hand on a 95 zenith for 13.5k it must be fake... non zenith ones from 2005 onwards currently go for atound 19k GBP (24k USD)... if it has box and papers buy it right now!
(Here in the UK that is...)
@@dominikhaendly7712 yeah, it is a NOS. So box and papers. Non zeniths are more expensive, I will push for 12k, if I can get that price I will get it. Thanks for the comments guys!
Hey Eric. I would keep it. ITS A DAYTONA.. lol. But I understand ur in the watch business.. Every watch a have bought I still own. I just can’t seem to let go of any of them even tho Toying with the idea of trading up. Keep up the great work.
If you already have the white dial ceramic daytona, I guess your best option is either to flip the white dial 116520 for a zenith black dial daytona or the black dial 116520. Personally, I think black dial daytonas are classier and easier to read the time. If money is no object to you, keep it and hunt for a zenith black dial! Prices for these babies will only continue to hike as they are already discontinued.
Let’s go, bro. Zenith all day. The small navy sub-dials has a better contrast anyways.
You know this though, because with the exception of the hublot-ation(lol) you have good taste.
Keep it and ice it out! - Seriously go with your heart trade it against a Zenith movement Daytona. Great video as always - a good start to the weekend!
Buen video Eric! Saludos desde Mex
Gold ceramic Daytona champagne dial, on oyster flex. Zenith will feel cheaper to you. I came up in the Zenith Daytona era. The 116520 feels more solid and luxurious.
But then you're stuck with those fugly off-center subdials... you can't unsee the asymmetry...
