Hi Mate

Arrival right now purchasing a real gem........:wub::wub::wub::wub:
A Rolex Daytona 16523 Franken 100%. , round "6" dial.:wub:
All parts are original.
The caliber is a Zenith 410 , low beat 28,800 (before 39,000) without the click date.
I took photos with my iPhone.:whistle:
Purchased from a friend of mine.
Paid that much , but it's perfect.
Now I just have to polish it.

very nice, enjoy it :)

TVM Rols....... :)
This Daytona is really perfect.......! :cool:
This evening I carry to my friend watchmaker to polish it.
It 's all scratched...!
I think this is the best rep I've ever seen in my life.
Only the caliber is not marked Rolex.
And the alternations were lowered to 28,800.
Then the reference 166xx was equipped with the 4030 , which is one Zenith low beat with Microstella in the ikablok and without the first click of date.
Wow...amazing.

Wow, that's the first 100% Daytona franken I've ever seen!

Even for me Bonesey...! :maty:
Before buying I did disassemble everything.
Then I have taken from an old friend.
100% Sure.
The story is so , the Daytona was original , bought in 1998.
He broke the 4030 and put a Zenith 410 modded , 'cause no money to change the caliber.
Yesterday he called me if I wanted to buy.
How ?..........Now......! :sharkey:
And here it is in my collection.
Beautiful dial with "6" upside down.

Impressive piece with that caliber on.

Truly perfect Jelly... ;)
Same as 4030 that Rolex fitted originally.
A Zenith 410 with the alternations lowered to 28.800 from 36.000 , but especially without the snap action of the date that the 410 Zenith has.
I saw some 16520 with these features , but not a Rolesor.
Then I saw the various 16520 without original bracelet , also the case.
In practice , this "Daytarn 3" Rolesor :)lol:) , have changed only the mechanics.
As I wrote above.

Cheers

That link is gen....:lol:
Wrote caliber Zenith , because it is a way of saying among collectors.
My Daytona is all gens as parts.
But it does not have a Rolex 4030 , like the one on Ebay.
Mine has a Zenith 410 Low Beat.
But you read that right around the thread...? :junio:
The Daytona that I've is an gen of 1998 , inside a Zenith 410.
For this reason seems gen 100%...:lol:
Is the hundredth time I'm writing this.............:frusty:

Cheers
