Of course.

I think the newest zenith models & oldest in house 4130s are the same price...

There is really no such thing as a "series". Think "era".. From 1989 to about 2000 Rolex Daytonas used a 4030 movement (A Zenith ebauch) and there were only some slight variations during that era. You may find some later ones, say around 1998/99 that have an SEL bracelet and polished center links..

Then in 2000 Rolex began making their own 4130 movement and the sub- dials on the face moved around a bit. They also put on a solid link bracelet with an upgraded clasp.. This era of Daytona has existed for the past decade with only some minor cosmetic changes..

Prices on all of these vary by only a couple of thousand either way with the very newest being the priciest..

Prior to either of these two "eras" you get into the manual wind Valjoux movements era and quite a jump in value...

Hello everybody

I am new in the forum, I am looking to buy and 2009 Daytona for about 10.000 US (about 7500 euros). My question is about the price. Is it fair? The watch looks (at least in the pictures) in a mint condition.
I can not follow really the price of a new 116520 (Steel). Here in Germany is not easy to find a new one, seems that are sold out. Any comments will more than appreciated

Best Regards
