Only one to complete my starter deck:

GMT Master 2 Ceramic 

+1

[JayJay]

1. A Lange 1 Luminous


and

2. Pam 384 - radiomir ceramic 8days


not necessarily in that order.

[STT1987]

New Breitling chronomat GMT.
Omega Ploprof 1200m.
Panerai 422 or 423

Breitling Chronomat GMT Limited edition - 47mm
Got this in Singapore, good discount.


Omega Seamaster Ploprof

Aiyah! Walked in an the AD said, "buy this!" Like NOS (New Old Stock), been in his sales display since late 2009. Not shifted since then, wants to get rid of this to his favorite WIS whale. Gave me a good discount that the Omega boutique cannot match.

The Panerai PAM 422 or 423:
Reconsidering them since the new SIHH 2013 models have been announced. The new PAM 507 (Black ceramic submersible) is my new target now. Or the new Bronzo.

[Primus]

See quite a few Lange here.

The Lange 1 was part of my wishlist for 2013 also and from pictures its a beautiful watch. But when i went to the AD the other day and put it on, really didn't quite meet my expectations.... not sure why .. maybe because my hands not suitable.

[Godzillaz]

Lange 1 or Grande Lange 1.

The 2013 Grande Lange 1 is beautiful.

Lange 1, shop didnt have a grande lange so couldnt test. But I see your point. When looking at close up pictures I always felt the beautiful patented design of the lange 1 dials, subdial and date windows are more suited with a nice full big dial. Not very big but certainly not 39mm or less. Im sure a slightly bigger dial would make me love this watch. Ill try to look for the grande lange 1

Looking for Tag monaco calliber 12... CAW2111/CAW2114... willing to trade my omega seamaster PO orange bezel... 

[Zarium]

A used IWC Mark XV/XVI Spitfire. Too bad there don't seem to be many around right now; those that are available are way too expensive.

Also the GS SBGM031 (on the right). I find it so beautiful to look at.

No go for the Zenith Espada.
Very disappointing.
I was enquiring at local AD for this watch for quite sometime.
Saw the watch in Taipei end of last year and I like it.
They finally got stock.
We verbally agreed on discount and final price.
I said OK. Asked the watch to be transferred here from KL.
Viewed the watch, OK... asked to size it...
Damn!! There is no half link.
Links are around 8-10mm in length.
It ends up either too loose or too tight... sigh...
Butterfly clasp so no micro adjustment.
I asked to abort the deal and my AD was kind enough to oblige.
She even said that she finds it weird that the fit is as such.
Well, maybe it's just not meant to be.







Some pics I took before the watch went into sizing.
After sizing, I have no mood to take any more pics... was busy removing and adding links but the result is still the same.
Either too tight, or too loose...

Bro, does that come with leather strap instead of bracelet? Worse to worse put nato strap on the watch lo 

[hanz079]

Leather strap for this model is only for the rose gold cased model.
And the lug size is 19mm, hardly a good size for nato... and seeing this is a more dressy model, a nato would just look so wrong.

Knowing Zenith, the lug holes for the bracelet model and the strap model is different in the distance from the case.
Mount a leather strap on the bracelet version of the watch and it will leave a huge gap between the case and the strap.

[terrenceterrence]

Strange that it has no half links. Both you and AD have tried contacting LVMH directly to enquire?

Once they could not get it to fit my wrist, they called HQ to enquire and since they are more keen to close the sale after having the watch shipped over from KL, i will take their word for it as i believe they will be more careful with misinformation especially if it's a deal breaking one.
In the meantime, i have commented on Zenith's FB page and will wait for their feedback.
