just got my first daytona 16520!:)
Hi guys!
I just got from first daytona 16520 today. I'm pretty excited so i'm sharing this excitement with you guys because i know you all passionate like i am about rolex. My choice went for a daytona 16520 after 1 year of dreams...finally i got it!:) I would like to thank Jacek from San Fransico who has been a very nice guy to give me all the info i needed to finally buy it from him. I never done such risky transaction and without having even seen the product with my eyes...so i did my own research and i found out he was a trustworthy seller and thank God! i did the right move!:) i decided to jump for it and i got it right! here i am with my daytona!:) i have no idea if i'm gonna be able to sleep right tonight..but i'm telling you guys, what a watch!! it's beyond my expectations!! such a masterpiece!! i still can,t believe my eyes how this watch is beautiful! I knew it was an iconic watch...but once you get it..wow!!! for those hesitating...zenith without a doubt! you won't regret it!;) So anyway, i'm posting some quick pictures for those who'd like to feel the excitement of getting a fedex parcel with a daytona 16520 inside.. ;) (if some of you have questions for me before buying, you welcome to ask me, i will answer you the best i can!) Cheers!:) Yacine |

Your unbridled joy evokes in all of us that same feeling of the "first time" all over again.
Remember this day and enjoy your Daytona (and, I predict, the many Rolexes to come). There is no better place to share that 'warm all over feeling' than TRF.

I love the Zenith Daytona. The Dial is better and stands out more that the 116520 IMHO. I am looking out for one myself but the wife has her Grey-dar on and I may have to wait.
Congrats on the watch its a belter!!

Fabulous piece! Something about the 16520's with black sub rings on a white dial that just makes it special in comparison to the latest 116520 offerings.
Brushed lugs are superb too....congrats and wear in good health!
