1988 SS Daytona pics--my baby

I posted these pics in the reference library and Mr. Coddger posted a very nice paragraph on the details of my watch--very interesting--take care all. The pictures are actually clearer in the reference post---sorry

Beautiful Bret, I can see why you're very proud of your baby! I actually like those old Zenith dials better then mine, I wish Rolex had kept the sweep second hand at the 9:00.

Wow, that's a wonderful piece.

The dial is amazing and of course the Zenith movement is unbeatable.

A porcelain dial, inverted 6, floating cosmograph Zenith Daytona is one of my grails. Congrats on a beautiful watch!
