Erik,

I know I should. I actually wear them which would explain how banged up they've become It wasn't till I opened the drawer did I notice one other watch missing in the photo, my Explorer II white face. It happens to be on my brother's wrist

what year did you purchase the daytonas? those two watches alone will buy you a used 04 S2K with about 10k miles.

The two Daytonas were purchased one week apart in 1998. Both have the Zenith movement. I purchased a 2nd black face a year afterwards for a friend and paid nearly double as the market for black face Daytonas exploded! I've been buying from a reputable dealer in Singapore complete with certs, box etc. I can get these regularly but the price ain't cheap!

is that 27% off list?

daytonas are still very hard to find now even and it's been a few years since i got mine.
i paid about the same as PLYRS 3.
the gold/steel ones are plentiful, it's just the plain stainless ones are hard to find unless you pay a premium.
