In 2019, Zenith released a really cool iteration of their a384 revival featuring Lupin the Third. As someone who grew up on the series, featured on CN adult swim "back in the day", might appreciate the cool factor. Unfortunately, only 50 were produced and sold exclusively in Japan.

Recently Zenith announced their second edition of the watch in a beautiful panda dial with a vintage ladder bracelet designed by Gay Frères.

Really on the fence with this one. Price seems fair given the standard a384 revival retails for $7,700 — but that's on leather and lacks limited-status.

Interested to hear your thoughts. Although I never condone purchasing with appreciation in mind, feel this piece could pay dividends in years to come given the limited nature of the release.

Very nice attractive watch. The ladder bracelet just adds cool imo.

Price is fair for what you get. I never watched the Lupin show, if I had then maybe this would look like an even sweeter deal.

Buy what you like and want to wear or play with.

I am tempted too. I like the clean panda dial. But then a friend said why not get a nice 1301. I just know that I wouldn’t wear a modern watch much.

This is really cool, I'm not into the 384 type case but I think they did an excellent job with the dial here.

It has interesting dial. There's something old soul about it...
And if it's too expensive, you can always get Citizen bullhead octagonal 😀

This new limited edition from Zenith (a new one) has a lot of vintage look in my opinion: cream luminova, clean dial with the enough numbers and text in panda combination ... I think Zenith has done an excellent limited edition, cool and attractive.

I feel there is nothing like the real thing and these sometimes cost more than the real thing. A copy is a copy is a copy!
