Yes, there is an M series Daytona, and also an M series Sub. These are the latest and the movements are as stated.

But there are no ETA movements in ANY Rolex currently produced.

So what is the best movement by Rolex? .. and what about Zenith movement

This is sort of a trick question because Rolex movements are designed for specific functions..

The 3130 is tha basic movement found in Explorers, Air-kings, ND Subs etc.

The 3135 is essentially the same movement with a date function added, DateJusts, Day-Dates, Sub dates, SD, YM, etc.

The 3186 adds a 4th hand GMT function..

The 4130 is their Daytona Chronograph movement and differs completely.

You can't really say that one is better than the other...

As for the Zenith........It's not really a Zenith drop-in movement..It's a Rolex 4030 movement and hasn't been produced for almost ten years.. It started life as a Zenith El-Primero ebauch (basic platform) Rolex adds their own mechanics to it, reducing it's speed down to 28,800 bph (from 36,000) and other refinements, so you can't just take an El-Primero out of a Zenith watch and drop it into a Daytona for a "Zenith Daytona"....it's not the same..

From a purely subjective opinion of mine, I would say the "best" is the 2235 because of its size and what it does. The 4130 is also impressive, but certainly not to the scale of a haute horologe movement by the top makers.

According to some articles the 4130 is rated the best but I guess that's subjective.

I agree. Even though 4030 in the GM has higher resale value,
The "tests" watch magazines ran showed 4130 performed better overall BUT NO DIFFERENCE in ACCURACY ratings.
I would get a "zenith" Daytona if the price becomes more reasonable.
