Help with Daytona 16520

Hi all,

Trying to find my first Daytona 16520. Does this piece look correct? Dial? Case Condition?

Best,

J

I'd suggest you do a lot more DD before you buy. There are a lot of mis-information on the internet these days. Zenith Daytona isn't as "rare" as some may suggest.

About this watch..........it is not patrizzi. The sub-dials are still silver. If they do not turn brown by now, it ain't going to be ever brown.

If you want to know what U serial Zenith Daytona, both white and black dial look like, message me, I'll send you photos of my complete set Zenith Daytonas for reference.

It’s what I would call a light patrizzi...not yet but will get darker. Most 20 year old watches and 97% of 16520 have been polished... With papers it’s 30k so I believe it’s a fair price..... not sure why it’s getting the hate. Offer 21 and buy it
