Changed allegiance to Zenith

Gasman · Feb 3, 2022

I have owned a couple of port royals in the past and always have admired Zenith watches in general. My recent purchases have been a pilot big date and an el primero. I now think I have more of a liking for Zenith above Rolex and Omega. My grail watch now is an el primero in rose gold and steel but not the open one. Just going to the interweb to get a photo. Any comments for or against.

I'm not a fan of the sub dials. Neither the overlapping and different colors appeal to me. Not a fan of gold either, so not my cup of tea.

I had the same opinion as you but they have grown on me.

You won’t be unhappy with any Zenith you get. Whatever you choose is right for you and the people in Le Locle are the best. They know how to treat their customers.

Vintage Zenith watches have increased in price over the past few years but they are great value. I don't like the new open style El Primeros but the re-issues and the chronomaster sport models are lovely. I happen to like the 4:30 date window.

The Zeniths are nice. The overlapping sub-dials with the different hues are interesting and iconic in a Zenith sort of way. I'd own it. I'd wear it.

they have but are still way under valued and under appreciated compared to what people are pushing

I don't about a two-tone, but that rose-gold A386 Revival you posted (the one with the "paddle" seconds hand) would be most awesome 👍

I hope you find "the one" ...and then post lots of wristshots 😁
