Nice one, David

What did you pay for it, and does it have its box & papers?

BTW: "78490" is the BRACELET ref. #

The movement would be a CAL. 4130.

SD, thanks for correcting me...Ive read on pages about zenith movement in daytonas? This is confusing me, so rolex didnt make the movement in the daytona? Is the 4130 zenith movement?

Here is a close-up pic of mine (protective wraps have since come off )

Enjoy ur watches - too many now to choose from.

BTW did yours have the chapter ring inscribed? I believe some people have mentioned that theirs is inscribed but without the serial no.

You can upload directly to the forum if you like. My kids got an $80 dig camera that takes better pics than that. Just get closer take a dozen pics and I'm sure there will be one in there that you can use.

Maybe I should take a close up shot of the dumbfounded look on my face.

The only way to end this is to put the camera lens close to the dial and press click. If your not lying you will have alot of people owing you an apology & Im sure each of them will.. But until then.................
