I would advise learning more about the Daytona, Vintage Rolex and watches in general. I say this because it would be a shame if you got taken or overlaid on your first Rolex.

Good luck!

I would pass pretty much anyway, but that would help in my decision.
Smile did mention this set doesnt come with B&P, which makes it a really expensive set to own... think twice please.

Way overpriced. I'm sure the poor owner sold it for a fraction of that

Glad you passed on this one. Way overpriced and you could do much better.

Way over priced. I think Davidsw has a new one for sale for 11900$.

EZpass!! Reasons as below

1.) no history/paper
2.) overprice

We'll done, the new 116520 is the way to go, in my opinion a far better watch than the zenith 16520. Way better bracelet and clasp and a way better movement (4130 in house) over the (4030 modified zenith).

I'd pass on this watch. Why do you want a Zenith Daytona in general? If you just want a Daytona, you can get a NIB watch for less than this.
