Hello!

This is Kaneko from Commit Ginza!
Today we have an El Primero-equipped Daytona with a great atmosphere!

Rolex Daytona Black All Tritium
Ref.16520 Serial.U6 (manufactured around 1997-1998)
Cal.4030 78390/FF503B Clasp Code U6
Accessories: Box, warranty card (domestic regular / stamped September 1998)
SOLD OUT!!

The El Primero-equipped Daytona/Ref. 16520 was produced in numbers from R to P.
This is a very popular discontinued model that has an attractive retro feel that cannot be found in current models.
The market price of Ref.16520 was on the decline until recently.
Recently, it seems to be gradually increasing again.
Compared to the current model, the number of models in circulation is not so large, so
When you find a good specimen, it's your chance!

The product we are introducing this time has an attractive dial with a slightly brown sub-dial.
This is an excellent specimen in excellent overall condition.

The dial is a later U-series/MK6 brown dial.
The MK6 dial has appeared since the latter half of the T series.
A notable feature is that the five-line markings are positioned slightly higher than the MK5 dial.

The brown color is not very dark,
The change in color is clearly visible,
It is a slightly brown color.

This is a comparison image with our A-number specimen.
On the left is the U6 model.
Can you see the brown colour in this comparison?
16520, even if the sub-dial changes slightly to brown,
It's interesting because the atmosphere changes completely.

The dial condition is slightly small with only a magnifying glass.
The area around the inner dial, which is prone to deterioration, is clean and in good condition.
The luminous material is all tritium.
The condition of the luminous hands is also good.

The condition is overall there are small scratches from use,
The bezel and middle case are in excellent condition with sharp edges.
*There are no scratches on the glass (no watermark).

The rug feet have an attractive, beautiful hairline and the edges are well-defined!

The bezel has some small scratches,
This is MK5 which corresponds to U6, so there is consistency.

The bracelet matches the age and is in good condition with almost no signs of wear!

The back cover has deteriorated, but the genuine sticker is still there!!

Accessories include box (with Refseal), warranty card, tag, Oyster booklet, other booklets, and extra links (full links).

Wrist shot!!
The brown color change really suits this model!
This is a highly recommended item with a great atmosphere!
