The case and bracelet are thick with strong edges and no big dents. The case appears to be unpolished, and the bezel is for sure untouched, thus, micro scratches can be seen overall the whole watch but no big dents are to be signaled. The white dial with black subdials, also called "Panda", is probably the most famous and sought-after version of the Daytona, thanks to its very readable and aesthetic look. It is truly immaculate and has tritium markers, recognisable by its "T Swiss Made T" writing at 6 o'clock. The hands are also tritium and original. From hands to the bezel to the crown and even the clasp (Z code), everything is matching on this piece. As it is often the case with neo-vintage Rolexes, the 16520 is the perfect compromise between modern technology and the aesthetic charm of vintage watches. The case has a lot of material and sharp edges. The buckle and bracelet are in excellent condition too. It appears as the case has never been polished. The bracelet is the original one, reference 78390, with 503 endlinks an Z clasp code (1997). It has no stretch.
