    Well, I got over my reservations about the modern Primeros and finally pulled the trigger. And I have to admit, it is an arresting piece.

    The case is particularly well done, with some very clean lines. It's a nice update of the original

    Here's a closeup of the much bemoaned dial overlap. I've gotten over it.

    My biggest reservation was the size...but the cat seems to like it

    Anyone know where I can find a 250mm strap?

    Happy New Year!

    Who in their right mind would buy a watch from that guy?

    Pair that with a period of extreme, large, butt ugly watches and it is a miracle that Zenith still exists.

    On topic - I would love to have that gigant clock on my wall!

    If he turned up at your house to take your daughter out for dinner, what would the appropriate reaction be?

    Look closely at the image, facial expression and falcon above before deciding

    This thread is like a David Lynch movie. I don't know if I'm looking at tiny cats, giant watches, or a dream sequence... and wtf are falcons doing here anyway.

    Cool watch though.

    I suspect there will be some trouble with the chronograph functions. Case looks crisp and unpolished, though.
    I am bothered only by the combination of black socks and brown pants.
