Not really specific parts.

 

I'm just not a chrono guy. I've tried, but I just can't get into them. Too busy, too much going on in the watch faces.

Exactly! My gen 16520 has been my daily beater for last 18 years and still works, looks, and feels amazing. I recently acquired 6241 from Andrew and collection quickly expanding...

Meh.

 

If I got a Daytona, it would def be the vintage PN models with the st19 hw movement.

 

Classic looks and best movement you can get in a rep.

I'm about to order it. I have been waiting Daytona get a ceramic bezel but 2013 Basel model of chocolate brown bezel with ice blue dial is just too much to me.

I want to compare this with my gen 96 white face 16520.

 

That looks very nice actually snowy! However, I personally prefer the White dial one, found the photo somewhere on the internet:

I read somewhere on the forum that said due to the relocation of second dial (second at 6 in this case, instead of 9) it might not be very stable as compared to a regular second at 9 7750. Is it still a concern for this one? I'm thinking aobut getting one too

That is successor of my 16520. Mine is white dial as well.

Regarding to vintage replica, I guess still long way to go unless you franken it.

Trusty says this particular daytona comes with upgraded 29j movement and I just cross fingers for its reliability compared to old clone 7750.

Looks nice. If you buy it, pick up a black leather strap.

Any recommendation for the strap?

Personally, a Daytona begins and ends with the Panda Paul Newman.

I like it; in fact, I like most Daytonas (excepting the Gaytona). Would love to get one someday possessing an A7753 -- IF Daytonas come with them (I dunno). Most importantly, though, buy what YOU like.

I want a pre-2001 Daytona but I know I'll never wear it.
