Dayton Zenith Movement: collectable?
Edit: My mistake. I confused two ads by the same seller. One was BUY IT NOW or Make Offer and the other was a open bid.
This watch is NOT buy it now, $3500 is the current bid. Grateful for any opinions about this watch. Any reason to purchase or not to purchase? Is it collectable? Is $3500 about right for price? Below is the seller's write-up. Many thanks, Gary Rolex Daytona Steel and 18K Gold Chronograph Zenith Watch Brand: Rolex Model Number: 16523 Model: Daytona Material: Stainless Steel and 18K Gold Function: Chronograph Dial: White Movement: Automatic Case Size: 40 MM Condition: Excellent, Please see pictures Notes: X Serial Number indicates the watch was made in 1991. Does not include box or papers. Will fit an 8.5 Inch wrist. This model has the Zenith Movement. The Zenith Movement was discontinued in 2000. Many believe the Zenith movement to be far superior to the Rolex Movement. It is far more collectable. Last edited by Skyblazer; 30 January 2010 at 02:53 AM.. Reason: Corrrection |

History has not yet proven that the Zenith is going to be more "collectable" than other movements... The earlier Valjoux 72 movements are where the money is right now..
However, if you can get one for 3500, it is a steal and I would approach with caution.......... ![]()

Having said that, they are excellent movements/watches, so if you end up getting it, and everything's kosher, congrats! ![]() |

Yeah, I would approach a $3,500 Daytona with a great deal of caution!

That is on an auction. The price that really counts is the price at which the auction ends.
The last one that same seller had went for $7,100. Robert |

Well certainly the all S.steel version of the Zenith powered Daytona will IMHO be more collectable than the in-house S.steel Daytona.But just like the TT with the in-house movement the Zenith TT is not so collectable as the all S.Steel. Its just purely a fashion thing the S,Steels have always been hard to buy at retail so thats the ones that demand the most prices which IMHO is crazy as IMO the TT are far nicer looking watches.

this watch will be sold around $6500 in this condition , its nice bargain when this ZENITH movement will not be made by Rolex or Zenith anymore @ 2800bph.
![]() The lowest price I seen TT zenith daytona in last couple month went for around $6100 , these Zenith DAYTONA are selling at bargain prices given the movement has gone through Rolex inhouse movement treatment to be more reliable. Will it be collectible? , not in next 12 years, will it hold value? DAYTONA models do well as they age. ![]() |
