Itching to get a Milgauss GV or Zenith movement SS Daytona
Hi everyone, I went to an AD last week and they have 2 Milguass GV in stock. I had been thinking about getting a Milgauss GV for a while. Yersterday, I saw a used Zenith movement Daytona SS with white dial in another AD.
I already has a 116520 in white dial. Any opinion would be helpful. Should I get a random serial number Mailgauss or another Daytona. Last edited by RX0-Unicorn; 11 March 2012 at 04:25 PM.. Reason: add infomtion |

You know you will be buying the no nonsense Zenith movement with all original components. And since it is preowned you can negotiate a little. And usually they give you at least a year warranty. |

Personally I would go for something a bit more different and I would go for the Milgauss. I think it just depends on how badly you want the Zenith Daytona.

Good luck with your decision. I would rather have the 4030 daytona.

Those are so different, I think its interesting you could be split between those two... That said, I am not normally a GV fan, but given the choice I would choose the GV...

I would choose GV since you already have a Daytona, even though the movement is not Zenith who else but you will know? Prior to spending time on TRF I wouldn't have known the difference, it was just a Daytona. Plus the GV is just so cool

Seems very popular to decide over a Daytona v GV on here of late, anyway you already have a Daytona so differentiate what you have and go GV

Both are nice.
I have had and sold both. The Zenith is a better long term buy value wise I think The GV is a great watch! I love the green crystal but both lacking date kinda killed them for me. I have a nice vintage 5513 for when I don't want a date.

Tough call. I would probably go with the Daytona, as there are lots of GVs.

I think I will go with the GV. The used Daytona have no box and no paper, asking 12k for it. The GV really gets attention with the green rim.

Daytona - if it's a good one they're getting harder to find. You see Milgauss GVs everywhere now and will be readily available for years.

I'd go for the GV for something a little different as you already have a Daytona. Wearing the Zenith and your current Daytona would feel the same. When I rotate my watches, I like the change in style and variety.

Hey everyone, thanks for the input.
i have to decide to get the GV first. Than, I will get the 16520 later. I want a watch that i can wear everyday and not worry too much. The 116520 is sitting inside the box or winder, didn't get to see the world outside at all. I will crying for weeks if i get any scratch or dent on it. |

Also, the Zennith movement Daytona does not come with box or paper. The AD is asking for $14000, plus tax, no discount. i just think the price is too much. That is more than what i paid for my 116520 when it was new last year.
