Opinions please on trading my 14060 A serial w/o B & P - 90% (a very nice Submariner) for a Zenith Deluca (El Primero movement) w/ B & P circa 1995?
Thanks
Russ

Don't do it!

bluemartinifan · 10 April 2010, 09:27 AM

Any Zenith fans out there?
The Deluca is Zenith's version of the Daytona. Same El Primero movement as a Daytona during a period of proiduction years.

TurboWatch · 10 April 2010, 09:59 AM

from color change Patrizzi :

to inverted 6:

Zenith powered Rolex Daytona

If you do such thing YOU ARE (( Living la vida loca )).

buz-lh · 10 April 2010, 07:48 PM

I really like the Deluca, it's what a Daytona should be in my opinion. (flame suit on). I would make the trade in a heartbeat. Plenty of 14060's around if you decide to replace it in the future.

rolexsubdate · 10 April 2010, 08:53 PM

Zenith Deluca??? What the Hell is that?? Sounds like those old Zenith TVs from the 80s, with those humongous woodwork around them ....YUCK!!! I suggest you crush your 14060 in a vice or put it on railroad tracks so a train flattens it out.... that would be more acceptable than this trade you are thinking of.....

bayerische · 10 April 2010, 08:56 PM

No, I say.

Jackxv · 10 April 2010, 09:04 PM

Does the Zenith make you happy ? GO for it

I think it's a crossover of all the Rolex sports models, the movement is superb though not the same as in the Daytona with seconds at 9

Rolex uses the mainplates of the movement and thats it, all other moving parts are made by Rolex.
The frequency of the balance is a little higher on the Zenith.

Service cost on the chrono are a little higher.

icnbne · 10 April 2010, 09:26 PM

that zenith looks great, trade imo

Thx Jack - so the entire El Primero movement is not housed in certian past Daytonas - just some or part of it???

Jackxv · 10 April 2010, 11:13 PM

It's something like an engine.

You've got the housing and all the eternal parts like pistons etc.

Rolex only used the housing > baseplates > ebauche in French.

All the moving parts like gears and springs came from Rolex.

scl6118 · 11 April 2010, 12:23 AM

I would keep the Sub!

ducatidoc · 11 April 2010, 01:06 AM

Yes, go for it. Deluca's are very highly prized by Zenith fans. To all of the thousands of Sub-owners on this site, sorry: at the risk of getting

, Sub's are a dime a dozen by comparison. Not that they're a bad watch.

whiskyguy · 11 April 2010, 01:54 AM

Make the trade. The Deluca is a rare sought after watch Less than 6000 total produced in 4 versions (white dial less common than black) 14060 while great was a mass produced piece and will be easy to replace.

Both Zenith Daytona and the Deluca have running seconds at nine. The new inhouse 4130 daytona changes that to the six

v1vne · 11 April 2010, 02:07 AM

I like the dial, Movement, and the fact you will get the box and papers. Zeniths
fly under the radar. I like the Sub no date. But, having a Zenith is something special. You can always find another Sub no date New, or Used. As a Pilot the Crono., is very handy. I do not think you have anything to loose. Remember, this is the Rolex Forum. What do you think the postings would be on a Zenith watch Forum ? I rarely ever sell, or trade a watch myself. Some are missed. But, most are not missed.
I am on my second Omega 3570.50.00 Moon watch. Sold the first one to a friend. Missed it. So, one call to an Omega AD. And problem solved.

I am aware of that, but I made it clear to make the difference between the two different daytona movements.

However, your post was unclear thought a little clarification was needed.

Cheers

ducatidoc · 11 April 2010, 03:28 AM

Russ, is this DeLuca at a dealership ? If so, I'll make it easy on you: you want to pass on it, I'll contact them and buy it myself. I've actually been in the market for one.

Welshwatchman · 11 April 2010, 04:34 AM

Bizarrely enough your Sub is valued at more than £300 over the Zenith in Europe.

That's the power of the Rolex stamp, I guess.
