And now the impossible question - do you have a favourite?!

Yes that鈥檚 easy. As @wouter van wijk says it would have to be the A3817. Classic early El Primero case with a dial twist. I love an underdog.



Photo is from a couple years back. 3 of these have now made their way into other happy horological homes.

Thanks for sharing - those A385 and A386 examples are stunning. A proper collection.

I must admit that if money was no object, I would go for the Daytona. From a value for money standpoint, I agree that the El Primero has the edge.

Oh my, what a collection. I sure wish Zenith would release another A386 re-edition, in steel, ladder bracelet and all.
