Patrizzi dial fresh from NYC

[gerard88t]

Hi Gents,
I want to share a picture I just made driving in NYC. It's my new to me zenith 16520 still with a sticker on the back! Okay it's not perfect with scratches here and there but getting it by giving up some pieces I swore I'd never flip, doesn't make me sad at all. In fact I'd say I am stoked to wear a Daytona of such uniqueness! Thanks for looking and I would be happy to make more pictures later to share with fellow Daytona enthusiasts.

My first very good watch was/is a Zenith Daytona I've got brand new from my godfather in 1999. I still have and wear it. I love seeing a daytona in the wild too. Congratulations man, you won't regret buying this beauty

Very nice! The subs match your jacket nicely

Congrats!

Thanks for looking Gents! I appreciate the congratulations too because it's been a long, long time I've had out of house free time with good times with a friend (and made some new friends today in the Big Apple) while scoring a piece I was made genuinely happy finding and owning. Here's a front door-back at home shot I think catches the dial color better than in the car in NYC

And In case anyone is curious, it's a T serial followed by 7 :-)

I think this picture shows off the Patrizzi effect best. It really does add a vintage charm to the piece. Thanks for looking and I will try to make better photos soon.

Outdoor in sunlight. Dog abides!

I love it. How hard is it to read the sub dials with the darkened color?

Very nice, congrats!

Not hard to read at all in normal lighting conditions

[gerard88t]

Just played with my other phone and I made a interesting dark photo by mistake. But I think it looks pretty cool! Thanks for looking

Hi Match1969,
What is reason your scale in the bezel isn't in black anymore? Did polishing remove it? I plan to leave my Daytona unpolished when I send it out soon for service. I prefer to just have it ready to wear without worrying about adding more scratches. I'm torn a little if I will ask to have bracelet polished. It's in pretty good shape but for PCLs really show its former owners wearing.

I'm jealous!!! ;-)
Enjoy it!

Big Congrats!! I know the feeling of flipping a few watches that you said you would never get rid of for a Daytona. I recently did the same for a this beauty!!

As the guy who sold it to me said "nobody regrets getting a Daytona"

[nycpassat]

my unpolished light patrizzi says hello btw

[4REGUY]

Congrats!!
I'm a huge Daytona fan, in fact I now have 4 of them.
I recently purchased the same watch as you.
Do you mind if I ask how much you paid for it??
Thanks

[XXoF]

Huge congrats! These are truly awesome watches!!

Here is my T series:

[gerard88t]

Nice photos of your Daytonas Gentlemen! Wear in good health! Mine finally got posted to Rikki today and I miss it! Yes, I may have small reservations of letting go of watches I said I wouldn't ever rid myself of, but the genuine glee and satisfaction of getting the daytona overrides their loss.

Beauty!

Guessing missed this thread. And I also guess I need a better pic than the one in my avatar...
