. . . the New Vintage 1969 captured my imagination when it was introduced in '09, and my affection a year later when it arrived in Los Angeles. Now, it's mine ;-) . . .
between this one and the Striking 10th IMO. I predict you will find this far more versatile than you anticipate, and anyway it is the more "Zenith-y" of the two!
. . . and it came down to realizing I'd be looking for reasons to wear the Striking 10th. Better a watch you'd want to wear often than one for special occasions . . .
Very pleased you chose this piece. We looked at a few Zenith's together and this watch is really 'you'. Look forward to the wrist shots and your experiences with it. Andrew
for this excellent choice! It's a timeless beauty. I think it is a very worthy addition to your tasteful collection of watches. Enjoy your El Primero! Thanks, Valentin
. . . an attractive watch, all the more so as it combines two classic Zenith elements - the dial of the A 386 and the Zenith signature cushion case - for the first time. An hommage to a watch that never was, but easily could have been . . . cordially, Art
Hi, That would be the one. This is a winner design IMO. I've had it on my wrist and it is all I like about Zenith: a strong and casual design, a great calibre, a readable chronograph. I don't understand why they have made nearly all the chronographs in th...
. . . your words speak volumes. There are a few recent Zeniths that beckoned, but this one captured my attention at first glance, and affection the moment I tried it on. Most cordially, Art
I can so totally understand your choice, even though I was leaning towards the Striking 10. I must say the dial design and layout is superb, I do not find it crowded at all, and cushion case...haven't had one for a long time. Look forward to your ownershi...
Congratulations, that is a truly handsome watch! My favorite modern Zenith as well, seems to capture many of the characteristics that made the original designs so charming.
. . . one of the original El Primero cushion cases . . . . . . which is a little smaller than the New Vintage, and unusually, didn't sit quite as well on my wrist....
. . . there are more pressing matters that take up your attention, like analyzing balance sheets of billion-dollar corporations and tending to ATM, and leave it at that ;-) . . .
I had my doubts when I saw it in the store. But then again, I never tried it on. It really goes to show that you really need to try a watch on before dismissing it. I thought it was too big. But it looks just right on your wrist. Very beautiful watch! Con...
. . . "just right" on my wrist, Echi. It's due in large measure to the cushion case design that conveys a sense of subliminal heft while retaining sensible dimensions . . . cordially, Art
. . . I knew from the moment images circulated that it was well-suited for my wrist, and fit the sports-watch niche that badly needed to be filled . . . cordially, Art
..OK...maybe a lot late :-( Congrats Art ! I LOVE your new Zenith, its a must have for me at some point in the near future. (maybe after my SS GO PML XL) That Beauty look so good on you Best Drew
Congratulations on this one Art! I am sorry for being so late but I hope that you agree that sincere compliments cannot be untimely. I just enjoyed your very honest reply to Marcus on how you went back and forth between the striking 10th and this one. Lol...
