I really like them, they come up now and then on chronomaster

I think they were about £1200 but I'm not sure, maybe a bit more.

No, and if I did I'd buy it ...

Keep an eye on the Sales Corner on timezone.

There are various options to bear in mind: silver/black dial; strap (19mm) or bracelet (20mm); auto or handwind.

That's a nice looking watch - and a good size too. The date looks a bit awkward to me though.

I didnt realize that the strap and bracelet where different widths.... ummm

I definetely want the auto though.

and probably want the bracelet as it means I can choose what to wear......

Dominic H eyes and ears open please ;-)

The el primeros do also come up at the Tag shop in Bicester village (I paid about £1300 for mine), just be aware that they come in a hand wound version (small HW under the Zenith badge). I think this is because the class sport has been stopped and Zenith are going for more top end sport watches with the defy models. Can't be a bad thing that Daytonas with this movement tend to warrant higher prices.

Well, after lusting after the ZENITH carbon edition of this watch, every time I pass through Singapore duty free and having bartered them down to equivalent of £7k, I started to do the deal and tried the watch on. Did not fit me - carbon weave strap was too short and I told the Sales girl that IMO a carbon strap would not stretch to fit with time! And, began to dislike the face as the date is not easy to read.
So, the good news is bartering will start on IWC's new calendar complication model in gold.
