    I've had a bad itch for one of these for some time. I finally pulled the trigger. An El Primero Triple Date Moonphase Chronomaster. One of the earlier ones with the smaller case, which are far more appealing to me, as well as being cheaper than the later models : -) The photo is the seller's as it will be in transit for a few days. I hate waiting!

    Now I have to sell something to re-balance the budget so watch the classifieds!

    Great pick. The El Primero is a classic. Like the moon phase complication as well

    The watch arrived yesterday, late afternoon. It was torture waiting for it - a feeling I think we all know! I am very pleased with the watch. It is in great shape, seems to run well. The only unexpected so far is that this movement does not hack so cannot set accurately. Still I can forgive it that. I am really liking the size and how it wears. I know... I need some pics! Soon!

    Nice watch!!
    May I know what would be the ideal price of this watch. I've seen one with black dial in late teens, well used but serviced for 3.5k usd.
    I'll click buy as soon as possible.

    This is the exact piece that I have been considering as an entry into Zenith, I think it is a wonderful design at an attainable price-point.

    Congratulations & enjoy it in good health.....I'm still mulling over vintage Chrono or a modern Zenith...................

    I am starting to appreciate these more, and indeed price is attainable. They look a lot better than listing pictures methinks
