Thanks Esoteric. I am not a big watch trader so I'm not looking to buy for appreciation as a primary goal. A watch has to be practical first and foremost. I have a couple of IWC watches. The first I bought a few years ago was a stainless steel Portofino chron and it has a white face with silver hands. I had trouble reading it in many light conditions. My other IWC is the Portugese 7 day automatic that I acquired a couple years ago. It has a white face with blue hands. I can read it in any light condition except darkness....neither hands nor numbers are luminescent. Both have leather straps. I really want a sports watch so the Daytona is a perfect option for me. I like your idea of try I got both on. But I wonder how many dealers have both in stock?
