Is A Rolex 116520 Daytona with A serial a Franken watch?
I picked up a Rolex Daytona ref 116520 with an A serial but that would put it at 1999 but the papers say it was sold April 2000.
So my question is Should the watch be a 1999 model with the Zenith Movement? The watch is engraved 116520 with A serial and has a Rolex 4130 movement. I am very confused can the serial numbers carry over? |

The serial number says something about when the watch was produced. The papers tell you when it was sold. It's perfectly possible that an A-serial produced in 1999 was sold in April 2000.

Thank You for the reply, I was concerned because I didn't know they produced the 116520 in 1999 with the 4130 movement as I heard it was released in 2000 . So I guess they probably had A serials left over.

A series Daytona was the final year of the Zenith movement—1999/2000. It was also the only year the 16520 had SEL bracelet.

The thing that confused me is the reference between the lugs is 116520 and on the other side of the lugs its a A serial number. I bought it with box and papers.
