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.

Slight dial damage but still a cool piece http://www.ebay.com/itm/Zenith-El-P...459248762?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item5d3d3b347a

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!

And its now mine. Tad expensive, but competitive bidding is always a good sign of value. Merci beaucoup Dennis.

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.

I rather fancied "Duca de Luca"!

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? 😜

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.
