    Happy Birthday To Me!>>>>>

    I got this beauty yesterday and it makes for a great birthday present to myself....a brand new Z series Daytona! Many thanks to Scott D for picking this up for me in Grand Cayman on his cruise last week!

    I call this the 116520 Mark III - it is the third variation of the 116520 which I'm aware. The 116520 Mark I was this "thin hands" Daytona with the 4130 movement from 2000. Then, part way through the F series of the 116520, we have the Mark II variation with "fat hands" - as I discuss in the this article from 2005: http://www.rolexreferencepage.com/articles/6.html

    This late Z series reprsents the latest iteration - the Mark III is it signficant for having the "RolexRolexRolex" engraving, AND the new "Parachrom Bleu" hair spring. I wanted to get a Mark III version, and Scott was kind enough to let me have this opportunity to purchase one through his dealer with whom he's made several purchases at retail.

    I'm working on an article right now where I discuss the question of when exactly did the new hairspring appear on the Daytona. Until then, here's a couple of photos.

    Happy Birthday, John!

    the Mark III is it signficant for having the "RolexRolexRolex" engraving, AND the new "Parachrom Bleu" hair spring.
    Have these two features been introduced at the exact same time?

    edit: just seen your article on the Mark III - thanks for that
