There's the ineffable mystery of the female mind. I mean, how do you even come up with a delayed-gratification concept like that? Ok, for fun, if it's the week before Christmas. But it's freaking August, man! This is upsetting me to an unexpected degree. I need a drink.

Best part is he bought his own gift that he's not allowed to wear because she's gonna give it to him. 馃槣

I have owned some speedy pros thru the years. Always the "standard" version and I have always sneered at the (endless) limited variants. But when I got to handle one of these I quickly realized I had to have one.

here they come yo
here they come
this or that?

(can anyone here train spot the track?)

*no spots, huh? it's 22 years old so not exactly "newfangled". It's recognized as one of the top songs in the most successful music movement in 50 years.

Oh, wow. Woah. now that's a watch. That case looks like a bomb shelter. Is it all as heavy as it looks? I've never seen one in person. It's pretty rare, yes, no?... i never gave owning a zenith any thought because I was always under the stupid assumption they were a one trick pony with the el primero and I figured I had that covered with a Daytona and an Oscar Waldan.

Thanks. These are pretty chunky and solid-feeling cases... they didn't skimp on the 18k with this one. The stainless steel version can be found without too much effort, but the de luxe "tortue" is rare... don't know the production numbers, but R枚ssler says something like "only a few were made." I've seen a handful on the web. And there's one on the cover of Von Osterhausen's Wristwatch Chronometers... not sure if that bracelet is original:

Many consider Zenith a two-trick pony (El Primero and cal 135), but some of their smaller tricks are pretty good. 馃槈. They made many chronometer-rated movements in addition to the cal 135, such as the 2542 PC inside this one.

Well, I have actually sold one gold and one steel. It started to look like an obsession...
