Doesn't matter shop or no shop. Point is the savings if any is minimal.

Looking at zenith chronomaster sport, on el primero movement lately. (pic taken from google) i think in terms of value, give a good run compared to daytona.

As for Breitling, i think think history is interesting because they are still one of few independents companies left.  But their design is a bit ugly and big i find.

Zenith ep movement reliability is solid and have been tried and tested over the years. 
Looks are decent for this one you posted.

but it wont give Daytona a run for the money.  
 

while i would say that Daytona is way overrated at todays price point (grey market)

if base on RRP, top pick is Daytona

if Daytona was sold at RRP 

there is no horse run

the problem is no way get at RRP

I recall, during 2015-16, everything was available at RRP or lesser. 
 

never say never.  It has happened more than once.  
 

I just hope to sell mine for $80k can liao

Pre 2015-16, steel sports Rolexes were also sold way above RRP., then prices dropped, then went up, then dropped.  

And who says mata dont wear shorts today 😁

Yup maybe i am too quick to say giving Daytona a run for the money. 

In grey market, maybe yes because Zenith chronomaster sport is ranging between $8-12k while daytona is min $50k. 

If based on RRP, Zenith $16k vs Daytona RRP (i am not too sure, plus the availability another issue). at least the zenith still can walk in and buy. Lately they open a new boutique at MBS
