What I love — Beautiful unpolished example from 1989, razor sharp across the watch including the all important bezel. This L series watch features the first ‘inverted 6’ dial with ‘Daytona’ in serif font, ‘inverted 6’ are first seen on the 16520 after L5 case serial which this is. The dial and hands are in perfect condition, tritium lume matches throughout. The original bracelet has little to zero stretch and showcases the correct codes including the correct end links. Turning the watch over the green case-back sticker is still in place. It is becoming increasingly hard to find a 16520 in this original condition and the best dial variant vs cost in my opinion.
What you should know — Bracelet fits up to 18cm. Some light marks from wear (nothing major to report)
