I think this piece is definitely unique and stands out amongst your typical Daytonas. I agree, there would be a rare occasions to wear this watch but as you said it is more a piece of art than just a watch. Lovely piece!
I would still go for the 116500LN just on personal preference. Zenith is a great brand and as we all know used to make movements for Rolex. However, with this particular piece it is clear that it is a homage to the Daytona, with slight changes of course. To me, a Daytona is and always will be a classic where homages can come and go.
Happy (late) New Year! I wore my Seiko Sarb033 on NYE. A classic piece, now discontinued and loved by all watch collectors. Wishing you a wonderful 2022 of good health and success!
