Why 116520 beautiful dial with ceramic insert from 116500?

In a perfect world I would have bought a gen 116500 dial but they are too expensive currently.

So instead I put a ceramic bezel on a 116520 dial (as many gen owners have done). Also stuck it on an Oysterflex as I prefer that look to the bracelet (as some gen 116500 owners have done).

End result is far from original but resembles the WG Daytona.

116500 fully serviced, aftermarket dial, gen crystal and gaskets, plus gaskets of case and pushers new, band polished gen looking and finished, and case too, now just have to wait for my new bezel, the one bought broke when fit it due to the gen gasket, the gen gasket need to be shaved a little it is more fat than the rep one, perhaps because one for 116520 and not 116500, anyway now all is correct.

Are you sure? Subdials looks to have the same ( over)size and too shiny against gen and ARF. I hope I am wrong.

Newly acquired! Not sure if it'll stay with me as I purchased this as a gift but my brother is not a fan of rubber straps. If I can't find a replacement bracelet it might end up with me :D

forgive me if Im wrong as Im a newbie but isnt the dial spacing font incorrect for a Ceramic Daytona? your dial spacing and font are form the 116520 and is not the same as the 116500. this is whats putting me off buying the Daytona 116520 sa4130 from Noob !

This dial is an aftermarket one inspired the 5 digits Daytona, look at the metallic circles on sub dials and how the « Swiss made » is, not the one for 116500 and even not the 116520, once I received the arf dial and the gen set of hands will fit in.
