I think it’s overlooked community wide to be honest.

And what sticks in my claw and always has is that there are simply not enough of them for dealers to hype so what’s is the point.
Dealers as we all know have always hyped the PN as some rare variation of a Daytona. A PN is massively more common that this particular variation and as such presents them much more earning capacity.
This is where us pure collectors let ourselves down by some of us being driven and guided by dealers some of whom are now seriously rich individuals rather than what is rare and special.
We have all been guilty of it at one time or another and hype and marketing drives demand.

All time classic. Question to the forum: is there a view if the Zenith Daytona’s will maintain if not increase in collector desirability in the coming years? I’ve seen lukewarm feedback online and recently in discussions with some dealers, but history has...
Thank you for your reply.

I’ve not experienced Luke warm reaction to the 16520 In fact the opposite and 16520’s becoming hotter than ever. Interesting question though and a similar one to the Patek Lemania V in-house. My thoughts are the Lemania will continue to climb in demand as...

And your absolutely right about it being overlooked recently within our community. Personally I love this model, in design terms it’s difficult to improve on. ...

Agree my friend.

It’s like collecting cars and not owning a Porsche. 😉. A 16520 that is not a porcelain. M.
Agreed Nico.

I love the Zenith and the in-house. Great watches. This is my regular wearer and I’ve swum in it in Ibiza, Qatar and Dubai in the past six months. Never drops a second! R ...
i do not own

because it is not my kind of watch. For the money, i know watches who fit me better. I am not a swagger, so my interest goes to Vacheron Constantin for example. Enjoy my watches on my own way.
I have a couple.

But I want to demonstrate just how rare they are. Might be a handful at best. I have seen a few later 16520’s with floating dials but very few R7 with Porcelain dials. For me it is only the very first 16520’s that are true Porcelain dials due to the proce...
The stainless steel porcelain is one of the nicest watches Rolex makes.

I stupidly bought one but in gold- it was really brash and stood out like dogs ...lls , The price for the SS was a bit more but I thought I was being clever- should have bough the SS model I sold the gold model as it was too Miami Vice tried to change the...
We have all sold with regret.

But the most important thing is you stuck with your gut feeling. I think this is such an important quality of a collector. I actually really like the Gold version but the right opportunity never happened to buy one at the right price. M.
