did u try out the El Primero 38mm? Just looks so perfect on the wrist  :thumbsup:

Did not try the 38mm but I heard that the 38mm was actually intended as a women's watch but at Baselworld, it was the men who went gaga over it. So I guess Zenith just go with the flow...
Seeing the thin bezel... should look nice as the next one is sized at 42mm, and with a thin bezel, it should look huge... similar to my old Omega Aqua Terra 42mm... looks frickin huge!!

I like the watch, but the overlapping sub-dials.......  :(

The overlapping subdials did turn alot of ppl off, but seeing the watch in person... I would say no biggie.
Just the size of the watch that I am concerned with.

that is the same reason too why I always feel more comfortable with a 39mm AT. almost pulled the trigger on a 39mm Railmaster few years back. the thin bezel does makes it look huge. 42mm is way too big for that model.

Having seen the watch I have to say that it does bother me a bit. Still would like to get a Zenith movement. Perhaps I should follow terrenceterrence advise and get the PAM00074.

I did try out one piece that really stays in my mind until now.
Nothing special if seen from pictures but when holding it at wearing it, the size, weight and look really appeal to me.
It's this one.



Retails for HKD77000.
It's now officially on my "to get list"

there's one in pink gold for sale by the same seller you bought your HW from, for a very reasonable price.





looks sweet with the combination of rose gold case and copper&bronze dial & subdials  :thumbsup:

looks very enticing as well too..since I've sold my Tudor and now a space is left vacant for a chrono

The pink gold one? Looks really good but at this moment, gold watches have yet to appeal to me.
Reasonably priced I would say...
Peter, it's at the same place I bought my Zenith EP HW...

It's the same place where they had the Chopard Pro One on sale couple of months back.

Damn reasonable price for a limited production, gold, and vintage iconic design  :thumbsup:
