Daytona VOTE

Forgetting the price differences and relative rarity the watches.

Which Daytona "floats your boat"?

(note that the Zenith in pic below is the LATER dial than MK III)

1. 6263/5/9 Valjoux m/m.



2. 16520 Zenith m/m.



3. 116520 Rolex m/m.

116520

I just don't like vintage.
the 16520 still feels good but the real vintage feels like crap

I would take the 116520 due to its stunning movement. Probably the best made chronograph movement made todate in the world.

I love the look of the vintage. Just very clean looking. I have never held one so I can't comment on the "crap" feel of it but I have a feeling it would be just fine by me.

Prefer zenith dial, but new clasp hands down over old!

I voted "None" and you can call me whatever you want, but this is the only Daytona that floats my boat.

Hello guys I’m righting here to make the post again active because those votes are from 2007 I quess so there are many years since then so I believe the options may be a little bit different. Let’s vote for pre ceramic Daytona.

I don't care for modern Daytona's (which sucks because I own a 116520!!!). I'm a 4 digit and Zenith guy. 16520 gets my vote!

Shoot me bit I think the daytona is the most overrated watch of them all. They do absolutely nothing for me.
