Hi all,
Been busy with work the past few months and was looking to add a few more pieces... was on the lookout for a reputable chronograph, pilot or worldtimer... in between, 2 G-Shocks (one was given as a gift and one was acquired personally) were added to literally scratch the growing itch... the choice for a chrono was made easy and zenith's el primeros stood out from the crowd... it was then a toss between the 36,000 vph or stratos range... finally decided to head out to the ADs to check on how both would wear on my wrist and i guess the mistake i made was to have put on the stratos first and 36,000 vph second... the stratos' presence was so commanding it made the 42mm 36,000 vph look small... decided that a stratos it would be and it was time to scavenge for a good deal... browsed high and low for a couple of months and managed to get a steal of a deal for a Zenith Stratos Flyback Blashford LE!!! the superstar arrived just in time to celebrate Xmas with me... will now look forward to swap the steel bracelet for some nice leather/rubber straps as i think it would give it a sportier edge... enjoy some sneak peek of the colonel reporting for duty below:

Thanks! Yes, Zenith is still embraceable considering its heritage and pedigree. As for the size, the first gauge was being able to swallow the G-Shock's appearance on my wrist, the confirmation came at one of the ADs when I tried the Striking 10th on. Was a close fight between the 36,000 vph and Stratos, and I guess we all know which one won...
Merry Xmas all! :Cheers:

Zenith design very nice and modern, so become more popular compare with Tudor!

I happen to have a watch each from both brands... :Laughing_on_floor:
believe that both brands are in the midst of a renaissance mode and would be aggressively looking to launch more breakthrough models... tudor seems to be doing very well looking for inspiration from their past... :Cheers:
