Sad day: had to say "good-bye" to my Daytona.....
........but then said "hello" to this one! I loved my 116520, but I prefer the older models and particularly love this dial. I bought my other Daytona pre-loved too but it came with nothing, really. This one came with a bit more. I've posted some cell phone pics in a few WRUW threads, but I thought I would do a "formal" introduction today. What do you guys think?

Yes. I had taken a few cell phone pics and posted to see if you, or anyone else noticed but wasn't able to get better pictures (these aren't anything like yours) until today.

Recently made the same switch myself. Don't know about you but it seems to me that the Zenith wears so much more comfortably than modern Daytona.

As long as the replacement is still a Rolex, I think you'll be fine
