    Well, this is the one! Seen at the Parma Antigue and Watch fair this weekend: A whopping 49 mm. Seen once before in stainless first time in Gold, perhaps unique! All for the pleasure of the tidy sum of Euro 53,000 (US$ 66,250 at current exchange rates) 20141004_100522_resized.jpg 20141004_100553_resized_1.jpg 20141004_100559_resized.jpg .

    Fantastic Zenittone - one of a trio of ridiculously desirable Zenith's that has been offered for some time now by Casowatches (along with a Luna Luxe and an El Primero prototype). That asking price is even more fantastic. Last I heard, they were asking €33,000; I don't like the €20k Parma premium at all. Awesome as it is, I wouldn't expect it to top €15,000.
    Seems as if they've also inflated the diameter, from 46mm to 49mm.

    The size may be my guess not actually measure so it could be 46 but seemed bigger or perhaps with crown is 49!!
    How much are they asking for the Luna Lux?

    I am surprised he told (or you heard...) that price , I was also in Parma, tried it and it IS 46mm, and the price Mr Caso told me was 33 000 € , so no changes from what he previously stated... and which is already a lot.

    That said, a fabulous watch, I absolutely loved it even if it was not "exactly fitting" my small wrist :D

    Pancho?
    whatever, everyone can see the sum on Hodinkee and I confirm that's the sum he told me.
    For the face, I hope it is prettier than your avatar :D
    Thanks for sharing photos better than the one I have
