In spite of the weather conditions in Northern Ohio, the delivery was on time.
Seems appropriate that this watch has a white dial.

Congrats !

jvo300 · 5 January 2010, 02:17 AM

Nice! I prefer the Zenith because I like the blak around the sub dials.

R1@160@alltimes · 5 January 2010, 02:20 AM

Congrats!!!

I prefer Zenith movement, as it is no longer available in more recent Daytonas.

Me too! The new dial on the SS model is just too dressy for a sport watch, IMO.

Daytonamania · 5 January 2010, 03:38 AM

Question, is the Zenith movement very different from the Rolex ?
Are the sub dials always black ? mine are silver .
Thank you .

kcmo · 5 January 2010, 03:41 AM

Congrats! Looks great. I personally prefer the 4130 as I prefer the dial.

brkanand · 5 January 2010, 03:43 AM

Daytona is the best

submariner16610 · 5 January 2010, 03:45 AM

on the white dials,zenith looks better,but nothing beats rolex inhouse movements...

mike · 5 January 2010, 04:14 AM

Great score Mark.

What a beauty.

Dsaltydog · 6 January 2010, 02:13 AM

Mark,
Could have bartered for the PAM 88 we just exchanged! Never wear mine, its identical. enjoy.

scl6118 · 6 January 2010, 02:53 AM

Beautiful!

esm · 6 January 2010, 02:56 AM

i think i would prefer one with zenith movement..... no idea why to be honest

maybe because it is rarer

acce1999 · 6 January 2010, 03:12 AM

I prefer the look and feel of the very early 16520, on 78360 bracelets, but I consider caliber 4130 to be better. Impossible combination. I know.

Widows Son · 6 January 2010, 04:30 AM

Nice!!! All I did in Hudson the past several days is shovel my drive, and you got a new watch!!

If memory serves me right, the Zenith has the super hi-beat El Primero movement which beats at 36,000 A/hr. as compared with the 4130 Rolex calibre which goes at 28,800 A/hr.

Both are excellent movements really. Zenith movements were being used in Daytonas for years very successfully before Rolex decided to come up with the brilliant 4130, 44-jewel movement now employed in all modern day Daytonas.

is there a side by side comparison for a newbie like myself?

Wolfgang427 · 6 January 2010, 06:21 AM

Very nice congrats.

Love those non-polished lugs compared to the later Daytona's polished look.

ersnyder · 6 January 2010, 06:30 AM

Congratulations Mark, sweet watch!

rmcarlton · 6 January 2010, 07:12 AM

I like the Zenith because it's unique to the Rolex lineup. The last Rolex watch to use someone else's movement. I don't know if it will be more valuable down the line.

buz-lh · 6 January 2010, 09:28 AM

Rolex actually reworked the movement to perform at 28,800 from the original 36,000.

Very nice for a snowy day!
