It's more zenith el Primero than daytona, but very nice one nonetheless

Those aren't that expensive, a few thousand US.

 

I've seen them in person, nice, but nothing special.

Sorry! It's the subdial layout. It's just far too common. Looks like every other 7750 watch.

I am with Austintech on that one. They are in the windows of every watch shop in Zurich for some reason. When I worked there I went and had a closer look a few times. I think they are a very nice watch for the price if you want an original in the same style as some of the more expensive brands and you also would like some sort of after sales service. (ps. I'm not arguing that you could'nt also buy a pile of quality reps for the same and if one fails or gets scratched start on the next one. :) )
