Hi everyone, I bought a Daytona 116520 clean V3 but unfortunately on the case the etchings are 116500. I know well that the strap is in front of it but this thing will really bother me, even for future modifications with replacement of original parts. Do any of you know if it is possible to rewrite the 116520 model on the case instead of 116500? Thank you

My guess is no. But since it's laser-etched and not engraved (if I'm not mistaken, not a Rolex expert), there may be a possibility to restore the normal surface and then "re-etch it" (not a steel expert either 
)?
But either way, any reworking on the case will cost you and considering that a replacement case is probably somewhere in the $80-120 range, you'd probably be cheaper off just replacing it. And that's assuming a case rework is even possible.
I own a relatively little amount of reps and still I have plenty of parts with wrong codes, serials, part numbers etc..... It's just a thing with reps. Those don't bother me much (a little maybe), but something that's even covered anyway most of the time would bother me even less.
