Zenith ref. 01.0020.380. Still the best looking (post) Defy in my opinion. Recently serviced too with that long sought after extra piece put in to the bracelet.

Waiting for my car to be serviced.
Staff here being overly thoughtful.🤔
I’d do the same to a weird guy who’s super chill,
not to mention he’s wearing a tiny old watch.🕺🏻

Sunburst dial and a 1068 might be a better combination rather then on a 1040. Generally speaking.

The only issue I have with this watch is the crown is small making winding and setting the date/time “time consuming”. Other than that I’ve always liked it. Picked it up from a dude who had a veritable cornucopia of Rolex and other higher end watches. His wife’s family owned an exclusive nursing home, he bought watches like I buy toilet paper.

I got a little overwhelmed looking at his collection. I picked up a few from him including a nice Seiko KS. He had a vintage GS I damn near begged for but he wouldn’t let that one go.

Anyway part of the fun of watch collecting is the people you meet. I’ve met people who carry around 100k plus in watches like it’s nothing, and I sold a guy his first vintage watch (Seamaster) and I recall him holding it like it was the Mona Lisa. Life’s a funny old dog.

Great looking Captain Cook!

The small crowns on many vintage Seiko’s can similarly be a real PITA to open and set as well. There must be some reason or rationale why they made the crowns so tiny? Perhaps simply asthetics?

Sundowners..
Love the EZM3. Have you ever had the drying pellet replaced? That has been my hesitation to buy one, as I hear it’s a fairly expensive replacement done only by authorized Sinn repair. Although it didn’t stop me from recently picking up this EZM7!

Thanks. They made 1962 of these it’s the limited edition but they do so many similar with different Dials it doesn’t really increase its value. You are correct I have a couple seikos that are similar pains to set. It’s hard to tell without another watch nearby how “small” the crown is. Ooh wrist cheese warning NSFW
