Yellow Gold Zenith Daytona 16528 inverted 6 period

[ialienam]

Recently I have been looking for a 16528, and just came across 2 different samples.

One on eBay, it's 1996 W series and inverted 6 mk III, but from my memory mk III stopped around 93/94 S series.

Another 16528 is L series, 1989 but Mark III. I thought 1989 was for Mark II. But again, maybe this one was a late L series?

Anyway would you guys say it's a big concern? Both samples are sourced from watch dealers.

Can you post photos of both Daytonas?

Your assessments based on the dial features are what is generally accepted and detailed on lists of Zenith Daytonas, but there are exceptions and cross-over examples. For example, does the L-serial you mention have "officially certified" on the dial?

The first one has newer hands, and it looks as if there’s no lume on them. Perhaps that’s what Rolex service hands look like nowadays for this model. Otherwise looks nice, but the hands would be a deal-breaker for me.

Looks like the second one sold already.
