| Well, I may have an answer, as i wanted to buy the Mondia before i got the Zeno. The Mondia has no apparent dealers in N. America, prices are in Euros. If you go to the Italian ebay website (ebay.it) you can find one seller - a dealer of sorts - which sells the Mondia at about USD 500 - I offered the equivalent EUR 375 and he accepted. The problem is the shipping. It's at least EUR 40 to N. America (that's more than USD 60). The Mondia also comes in a box with three additional straps, inclusing a leather and a strap tool. In fact in Europe, the Zeno is about USD 70 - 100 cheaper - essentially the cost of straps. There is a spcial version of this watch, Marina Militare MMT 500, which cost double the Zeno. It is a LE officially tested by the Italian Navy (which made military diving watches famous in the 1940's with the raids on British ships using special 'open water' submarine/torpedoes "maiali" - designed by Teseo Tesei, whose name has also been borrowed for a Locman group watch).
