    I don’t know about you but I have started to get a hankering for vintage gold sub dial watches ? Previously I have obtained Omega, Longines,Smiths & Rotary versions . All Circa 1950’s , all mech wind and all with good provedence . So it would be rude not to carry on adding to my affliction .I came across this Zenth model & had to add it . I love it due to its quirky expandable 14k expandable braclet and its great sub dial and main hand and with it being 14k solid case. It ticks the boxes for me. It really feels like a bit of history on your wrist and another one for the grand kids to enjoy long after I have. Hope you do to ?

    I like it a lot!

    While I certainly wouldn't scuff at a nice chrono, these type of vintage three-handers are probably my favorites and mainstays of my collection. Something very calm and reassuring about them!

    Recently I have also carefully been adding some (yellow) gold examples, having overcome my initial awkwardness towards the colour.

    This is the one I got most recently. Not a subdial, but similar in its simplicity, despite the rather complicated alarm mechanism!

    Amazing, this is the kind of elegant simplicity that makes me appreciate dress watches
