Replica Rolex Daytona 116520-78590 40mm Black

Black dial before ceramic

This is the steel Daytona as it looked until 2016: a polished steel bezel with the tachymeter engraved, and a black dial where the only contrast is the silver rims of the counters. The 116520 white dial is the light version on the same case, and the black dial listed as 116500 shows the same look on another set of photos.

Steel bezel or ceramic, which wears better?

The steel bezel matches the case and shows small marks over time like the rest of the steel. A ceramic bezel resists scratches better. Both look classic; choose by the look you prefer.
