In the El Primero-equipped Daytona/Ref. 16520,

Please take a look!
The model we will be introducing as an exhibit this time is
This is the earliest Ref. 16520 that was introduced on COMMIT TV.
First, let's look at some of the unique features of the early model!

○MK1 bezel "200 Taki" bezel

The tachymeter bezel on the 16520 is usually 400 meters,
The very early ones were 200 meters long.

○MK2 dial “4 lines”

The 5-line English notation has disappeared from "OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED"
The initial dial had four lines of text.
Like the MK1, this is a rare dial that is very hard to come by.

○ "Reverse 6" dial

The number "6" on the 12-hour counter at the 6 o'clock position is inverted to look like a "9", hence it is called the "reverse 6" or "inverted 6".
This is an early dial produced up to around the S number.
MK1 dial/floating or MK2 dial/4 lines
will always be “inverted 6”.

○Single buckle

The single buckle is also an essential feature of this early model.

This is an early model with an attractive kamaboko case.
The specimen we are introducing this time is an excellent specimen that has been kept in exceptionally good condition.
From here on, if you are a middle case enthusiast, this is a must-read (lol)

Bang!

Bang!!

Bang!!!

What do you think?
This is an extremely thick case that maintains the original shape!!
Next, please take a look at this photo.

The one above is the L number we are introducing this time.
The image below is of the same Ref. 16520, but with an S-series finish.

Probably because the original lug legs are different in thickness.
There was a huge difference,
Among the early models, this extra-thick case
It is difficult to see the kept specimens.

This individual is not only a middle case,
The bracelet is also in excellent condition.

There is no wrinkle at all,

The original clasp is still in good condition.
It's amazing... This is a fine specimen!!

A rare MK1 bezel x MK2 dial!
