question about finish on 16520 bracelet?

[jan klaas]

hallo
i want to know if the daytona 16520 is made with a complete mat(brushed) finish bracelet ?
i have an old cataloge printed in the first month of 1996 and on the foto of the 16520 it looks like it is mat but i am not sure.and the only pictures i can find on the internet are daytona's whit a half mat and half polished bracelets.
and if they are made, are they also made whit fliplock or only with oysterlock?
gr jan klaas.

Hi Klaas. The first 16520 came out with a complete brushed bracelet.
But they changed it to the "half polished", soon.
But don´t ask me when exactly they did it. Maybe someone else knows this....

Hi, maybe I can provide little information from my own experience.

Serial# R and L certainly had brushed bracelets. Serial#S (1993) have polished middle links. So the change must be made inbetween S#E X N C, so year 1990-1992. I like the brushed better

Hope this helps...

oke thanks a lot,you guys are a great help!
so with this information i can asume that the totally brushed bracelet daytona's must have had oysterlock and no fliplock.
coorect me if i am wrong.

i like the brushed better as well.
this does not say that the other is not nice ,he is very very very nice only the brushed one i like a little better.
