Recently, I was in market for an elegant dress watch.
And my other half suggested a Mido, which she wanted to get me as a present.
Also thanks to Scott who called the other day on a reasonable price JLC reverso, but way out of my budget at the moment. Anyway the hunt is on......
Dropped by at the Summit last Saturday and this one caught my eyes......
A Zenith Elite automatic stainless steel...

Quality, design, trend-setting power and exclusivity are the four criteria inherent to the Zenith brand and perfectly borne out by the unique "Class Elite" collection.
Zenith is a true manufacturer that conceives, manufactures and assembles its movements in its own workshops in LeLocle Switzerland. Known for their most famous movement the El Primero and for producing elite complicated pieces in small limited numbers.
According to shop dealer, this watch had been sent back AD centre - serviced and overhauled with some parts changed. But when I asked for the paper and proof, he said none but assured me all are in order. Knowing him, I shall give him the benefit of doubts.
After 24 hours lapsed, only +4 seconds, this is within cosc spec. (checked against my Astro decorder)
The damage?...A little less than RM4k..if you minus the aftermarket strap.
