    This watch on a stainless bracelet is an absolute smoke show 😍

    Never seen one of these on a bracelet, looks beautiful. It's a much more interesting watch than a Daytona that's for sure.

      There is a lot of value in having something different.... and this is a welcome change.

    My first choice for a chronograph, why people lust after Daytonas when this is available, I don’t understand.

      yeah this watch is 100% more interesting, better designed, and available to buy. Daytona literally is only here for the "heritage" folks, and not for those who actually give a shit about watches.

      Most people do not know about this watch or should I say zenith, that's the main reason. A month ago I didn't know zenith until I hang out with a friend who was wearing one.

      The Daytona, in non vulgar hideous millionaire spec, is a stunningly beautiful watch and an icon. If it was made by anyone other than Rolex I’d be all over it, but unfortunately Rolex are like BMW, they make desirable above average products but you don’t really want to know people who own them.

    True watch for true "conaisseurs". Same as mine (42mm), altough i have the one that has a showing mechanism. I am now just waiting for the steel bracelet. Then it will be superb ;-)

    Beautiful watch. Great presentation! I've heard that both the inside and the outside of the crystal are AR coated. Would you know if this is the case?

    I fully acknowledge as do most enthusiast 100% that Omega and Zenith have a far superior movements. This Zenith certainly hits the mark. Really - I want to own one. However, the one thing Rolex has that Omega and Zenith does not is the brand equity that Rolex brings to market. It’s not just the watch; it’s the brand equity, and that is why the Daytona Panda is selling up to 30k on the pre-owned market. Is it worth, the market says yes. If you want the better watch? Grab the Zenith.

    38mm chronomaster will be such a better fit for Tim, but he needs to sell the watch so any wrist size will do.

    Hi,
    Do you also sell the bracelet (separate)? I have this watch on leather band - but you've shown that the bracelet is also beautiful!

  • @sibtigre1

    excuse me.
    I am buying this exact watch but in 38mm.
    Is my idea or them look bigger than 38 and 42mm ? is because the lugs?
    Thanks

      All these guys who say "if only they made it in a 38/39/40/41mm............". Its all military grade bullshit. They talk the talk but when asked to put sovs on the table to buy they don't walk the walk. Have seen it for 30 years in the watch fraternity! If it had polished dogshit bezel encrusted with diamonds they say I would buy it........these guys are all full of shit!!!!!

      @@sportster883able Lol, for people who don't have the wrist size to accommodate a larger watch like this Zenith, it's completely valid. There is a lot of hyperbole, like you said, when they claim "they'll buy it" if it were smaller, but the point here is, this Zenith is a beautiful watch, but just a bit too big for smaller wrists. Thankfully, they do make a 38mm version of it that fits perfectly for most people.

    Overlapping dials make it impossible to read. Thats like having a watch with a third of its hour markers covered up. This is a major design flaw hardly anyone brings up.
