daytona ss

[brownoysterdj]

DHL dropped it off this morning...Got it used from timemerchants but its in stellar condition just some wear and tear on the band but nothing I didnt expect







my 2 newest watches:

[roadcarver]

Congrats.. wear it in good health! What series is it? Always love the white dial on a Daytona.

[Blue Bull]

Enjoy !!

[brownoysterdj]

its model #116520 pretty sure its the newest has the fatter 5 min markers and the rounded markers at 3 6 and 9 78490 movement i think

[SPACE-DWELLER]

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.

[astcell]

Time Merchants.... one more site for my bookmarks!

[brownoysterdj]

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?

[EvEr34]

nice close ups

[jjs]

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.

Feel free to share, thats why I posted them. I need to get off my butt and get some good ones

[Gaijin]

Did your Rolex from timemerchants come with box, papers etc?

[brownoysterdj]

all my watches minus the fossil and movado which is in for service getting battery replaced and links taken out because the shop "doesnt service movado's" so they had to send it down to the city to a place that works on them


came with papers, and a plain white box with bubble wrap :-p and i dont believe it has it on the chapter ring at least I cant see it, but my eyes suck

[brownoysterdj]

[EvEr34]

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.................

I gladly will....maybe.

Oh is my subtlleness acceptable???? Just checking.

[SPACE-DWELLER]

Stop telling him he is lying

He might be, and he might NOT be lying. So what?

Anyway, David:

The "Zenith" movement was in the predecessor Daytona (model 16520 if you take the STEEL version). That movement was a MODIFIED Zenith (Zenith cal. 410, the socalled "El Primero" which in its original form has a staggering 36,600 bph - beat per hour). Rolex altered that movement (including bringing the bps down to the Rolex known 28,800) and gave it the cal. # 4030. It had a power reserve of 54 hours and 47 hours with the chronograph continously running.

Btw: in comparison to the "Zenith" ca. 4030, the new in-house Daytona cal. 4130 movement winds up 68 % FASTER!

If you want a FREE photoserver, I suggest:

1) Go to www.photobucket.com and create an account (it's FREE!)
2) Upload the pic to photobucket from your PC
3) When it's uploaded, copy the IMG code (BOTTOM bar under the photo in photobucket - there are four bars, but you'd wanna use the third and last bar). You copy the IMG code by simply clicking on the bar.
4) You then note that photobucket tells you "copied".
5) Then go to rolexforums and start your post.
6) In your post, press the "Add picture" button and a prompt pops up with http://. Delete that http:// and press CTRL + V (now that address of the photo - the "IMG tag" - is inserted in the prompt you got.
7) Then DELETE the last and first [IMG] to get rid of "IMG" standing before and after your photo when you post it. (not important, but just looks better).

Or you can skip # 6 & 7 and just rightclick in your post and choose "paste"...........BINGO your photo will be there as soon as you press Submit reply.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT DELETE THE PICTURE FROM PHOTOBUCKET (OR ANY SERVER YOU USE) SINCE DELETING IT THERE WOULD ALSO DELETE IT HERE ON TRF! (RED CROSS INSTEAD OF PIC).
