Is this nicer than a vintage Rolex Daytona 6263

[unknown]

Risky to say on a Rolex forum

The Zenith De Luca first series

* plexi
* El Primero
* first edition had dauphine hands and not the mercedes hands
* no screw down pushers
* not too many text on the dial (only Zenith and automatic, not 'El Primero' and 'chronograph')
* rectangular hour makers and no dots

Made in 1988 and 1989, other versions followed untill 1996.


















imo much nicer than this ...





AND........... only a fraction of the price

Nice watch, no question... but not at all as beautiful as a 6263. The dial of the Zenith is too overloaded in my opinion.

If your headline is a question, I would say no

It is not comparable imho, but the Zenith is still a very nice watch, i like the "de Luca", and your photos are great

Well, your pics are definitely better than the pics of the 6263 Thanks for that!

So I guess it's not :-)

How about this one ?

[steboe]

I really like the movement and the Oyster bracelet...and the pics are nice as well

Very nice!

I consider the De Luca as a Submariner with a chronograph.
The turnable minute bezel indicates clearly the submariner heritage. One version had even the "Mercedes" indicators.
