Which year or serial Zenith Daytona?
Hey guys,
Looking to add a Zenith Daytona to my collection. Which year and/or serial should I look for, is there any version that is more sought after, like the MK1 Flat 4 50th anniversary 11610LV? I've heard that Patrizzi dials are the good collector's item, but don't really know why (rarity?). |

Even though not vintage you are better off posting there. With that said a Patrizzi is an interesting dial with defective paint in sub dials which caused color change when exposed to sun much like tropical dials. I would only buy a W series one myself if looking for one and not easy finds. Good luck and happy hunting. If of course you are speaking of interesting/rare Zenith Daytona's none more rare than porcelain floating Cosmo R series! Cheers,

Patrizzi is in and out of fashion IMHO |

I would look for one with the inverted "6" sub-dial. The six looks like a nine in the center sub-dial.
