The El Primero-equipped Daytona "Ref. 16520/L5" has arrived!

Recently, Commit has been fortunate enough to continue receiving shipments of early El Primero models.
The black text is followed by the white text,
This time we are introducing 4 lines of white letters/L5.

This watch had its case replaced in later years, so I don't recommend it for those who want to keep it original.
As a result, the case is in good condition and it is an attractive item!

First, as always, let's introduce the features of the early models!

○MK2 bezel "225 Taki" bezel

Pay attention to the mark between "200" and "300".
After the MK3 bezel, the scale changes to "240" only,
The MK2 bezel has two markings, "225" and "250".
This is a very rare early bezel commonly known as "225 Taki".

○MK2 dial “4 lines”

The 5-line English notation has been replaced with "OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED"
The initial dial had four lines of text.
Like the MK1 dial, this is a rare dial that is very rarely seen.

Personally, I love the cool letter "E" in the ROLEX logo!

The kamaboko case is also a feature of the early models,
The unit shown here (below) had its case replaced later, so it does not have a kamaboko case.

By the way, the thick case above is an L3 kamaboko case.

The condition is that there are scratches and scuffs due to use,
There are no major scratches and it is in good overall condition.

The middle case has been replaced,
This is an attractive case with a crisp look and little polished feel.

The fine and beautiful hairline rug feet are amazing!!

The edge lines look great too!!

Even if it's a replacement case, this kind of hard case is still cool!!

Buckle clasp code is "S10"

The bracelet is in excellent condition with almost no wrinkles.

The luminous material is all tritium.
The tritium luminous material has a burnt look, giving it a nice atmosphere!

The dial condition is very good and is kept in good condition.

This face, which is unique to this early specimen, is very charming!
Overall it's a very impressive piece!

Accessories include box, warranty card (UK), international service warranty card (May 2025/September 2021),
Comes with Daytona booklet (89), Oyster booklet (89), chronometer tag, and extra links!

What's attractive about this car is that it was just overhauled by the manufacturer in May 2025!!

Wrist shot!!
The combination of the instantly recognizable 4-line dial and the subtle 225mm bezel
This is an extremely cool item!

The early model with MK2 bezel and MK2 dial, "Ref. 16520/L5"
It's really tempting to have an early model with such wonderful rare features.
While the availability of normal single tritium units is also decreasing,
Even if you search, it's hard to find the earliest specimens!
The warranty is complete and the condition is good, so I highly recommend it!!
The selling price is also very attractive, so if you are looking for it, don't miss it!
