    Okay Zenith dudes, what can an uneducated slob like me realistically expect to pay for a watch like that? I see it's 40 mm, but if the case sits anything like the Daytona it should be a good fit for me.

    I have to confess an interest in this watch myself. I have all the DeLuca II models except this one. Go away! But seriously, I would expect something comfortably over 2000 - how much over depends on how bad you want it.

    I won't bid against you if it's the final piece in your De Luca puzzle.

    A very cool piece, at a very good price so far - and it looks correct, though anything from Turkey makes me nervous. This one has the 'diver's bezel', in minutes (for elapsed time). Another is on offer on Chrono24 for a price that seems way high to me (3300 euros). It has the 'pilot's bezel', in hours (for a second time zone).

    I really like this anything to think there is a issue with this from the pictures?

    The only thing I can see in the photos is that the blue paddle sweep second hand appears to be a replacement. I say this because the proper one should have a white tip, and be a little longer than this one, as illustrated:

    Also, though it is hard to tell, the lume may have been replaced. Hope this helps!

    It's always my pleasure to not spend $3000. ;) Congrats!

    Well done John. I think you have earned the title Count De Luca. Or Baron maybe. Your choice.

    isn't that Carl's line in Caddie Shack when he's telling the kid about the Dali Lama driving into a 10,000 foot crevass? :p

    Of course! Il Duca de Luca. Some moderator must make it so!

    El Duca de Luca any better? I changed it, but the capital I and lower case l look nearly identical.

    "Il" works. Adds a little confusion. But I guess I should change the Avatar

    Like the newsreader who refered to Kim Jong Il as "Kim Jong the second"

    How about Don de Luca - that should frighten off anybody trying to out-bid you Chris.
