Super review, but I still think the ZENITH Daytona has a much nicer looking dial...
The other things the new model has are not enough to make me want to change my Zenith for the New model...But a great review no the less...Well done... |

To add to my review, here is a small overview over the changes that the Daytona 11652x with inhouse movt has seen some seen since year 2000:
OLD-style 116520 clasp: NEW-style 116520 clasp (same style as the GMT II 11671x):

My Daytona is not even a month old yet. I almost bought one in 2007, but got a Yacht Master instead. Im glad I waited. The new style clasp and the easylink is awesome. I got the black face, but always wonder if the white would be easier to read.

Being a new style Daytona owner I really appreciate this review. I also owned a 1999 A serial 16520, sold it, after 3 years of not having a Daytona I'm really happy to have the newer movt, some things I like about the Zenith but more things about the in house. I think the chrono mechanism is much easier to push and the bracelet is far better. Both were white dials. I also pocketed $500 from selling the Zenith to get the 116520. Plus the A serial
would have been 13 years old and if I serviced it, it wouldn't be cheap.

Hey Bo, great to see you around TRF! Great review of the Daytona. I personally like the
Daytona with the Zenith movement. Very precise, gorgeous dial...but I know all the technical people like the new in house movement. Call me outdated, outmoded, outnumbered....but I think the older watch is tres chic and cooler than the new Daytonas, plus they're out of production! Best, Dan |

The change to non-green sticker, engraved rehaut and plastic card certificate happened sometime in the Z-series, not sure when exactly.

I think this might be the last year for the current Daytona, Im sure they will release a new model for the 50th anniversary and discontinue the old like they have with the seadweller etc
