I used to keep up with Rolex's a lot more when I first got the watch and just recently wanted to get back into them and buy more/start a collection. Little did I know how hard it has become to get your hands on some of these watches now a days from an AD.

Should I be treating my Daytona a little better as if the value of it is a little higher in these times? Or just keep wearing it as if its a basic everyday watch? I really enjoy wearing but also want it to keep its value or even let it appreciate greatly. What would yall do if you had this watch?

Gorgous watch, wear it and enjoy it.

That thing looks like Sh!t anyways. Wear it

No, you should not wear this. Hide it far an far away.

You’re doing it right. Just keep wearing and enjoying it!

When it’s ~10 years ago you can send it in for service and it will come back looking brand new. Fingers crossed you land a second piece before then because it’s hard to go without while your one and only is at RSC

Seriously??? There was a thread on one of forums years ago about coating a watch with Elmer's glue to protect it. Maybe you should google it!

Except he didn't just add a 1, he replaced a 2 with a 0. You don't know for sure that it's real and saying people don't know much about these watches is a bit arrogant. On the other side, I can't say for sure that it's fake, but I would think if he knew enough about reference numbers to post it, then he would be able to post the right one. This leads me to believe it's more likely fake than real.

This is a 16523 and not a 116503

Wear it.

The value is going up because inflation is rampant in USA, so don't worry, you won't ever get rich from that beat up Daytona.

It looks a bit late to baby it now!

Continue to wear it and enjoy it.

my Shiba coin's value went up too. Should I be treating it any better?

[Beto737]

This. It’s not pristine but it’s a real 20+ year old Zenith Daytona.

To the OP, don’t let the curmudgeons posting in this thread get you down. Your watch is a fantastic zenith Daytona reference 16503. It looks and sounds like you’ve made some fantastic memories with it on your wrist which is what it’s all about.

Wear it just as you've been doing; that's what it's made for. Gorgeous piece.

[Mystro]

How can you not wear that???? Time on this earth is so short. Enjoy it, live life with it, and make memories with it on your wrist.

[Nodzex]

It’s meant to be worn, just enjoy it!

[YoungCollector63]

Apologies to all, it's a #16523. Papers have it right, I had it wrong. Thanks for the replies, looks like I'll continue to wear it.

Agree. My 116503 is closest to my daily.
