Deal or No Deal on Zenith El Primero?

The Tourneau store here has a Pre-owned Zenith El Primero Chronometre in their display case. They are asking $2390 for it. Is this a good value or not? I believe that this is the same movemant that Rolex used to use in the Dayton? Right? It looks very classy and similer to the Daytona. The watch also has a date. What do you guys think?

If it has all the boxes/papers, a recent service (assuming it is a 2001/2 model then) and you can squeeze another $100-150 discount.

DEAL !!!!

The chronomaster is a fantastic watch and one of my favourite watches (with the black face). It represents proper value for money. A Daytona without the bull$shit and the hyped up prices but with a date function.

Your one is not the chronomaster, but the "class" series chronometre but it still has the beautiful El Primero 400 movement.

I can't really speak to the value, but it's a GREAT looking watch...even as pictured on the strap.

I think the price is about right esp for a Zenith movement! However, it would be a real steal if it has all the accessories!

Seen a lot of pre owned ones but definitely at higher prices on watch markets.
