Thanks for sharing. The 16520 build is really nice ... It is a beautiful watch!

This is the first time I have seen the Phong 16520 dial. It is better than I expected but I observe the following --

*The coronet is not very gen-like, maybe too thick?
*The metal surround on the hour markers is too thin ?
*The small tick marks are too thick?
*The red DAYTONA font is too small / wrong color / wrong placement (should be closer to the subdial) ?
*The "SWISS MADE" font is too thick?

I am not trying to criticize, it is a really nice build... Maybe others think different about this Phong dial?

and yes, unfortunately the only one that sells them is phong, the dial after 16520 has a few flaws that can only be seen in photos, live is a show, it will become a gen.
best regards.

Great build ! I just received my 16520 case, I'm thinking of going the same route as you (for now) with the dial and hands ! Btw, it seems that the zenith 400 have increased in price...
Thanks for sharing the pics :)
