My two with "later" crowns
Jul 26, 2021,08:59 AM
I now have little need for a chronograph but these two with the El Primero cal 40.0 and 400 movements are history for saving Zenith's finances and are a pleasure to wear. I also have sharkskin straps with Ebel deployant clasps to ring the changes when I tire of the metal bracelets. I think they are still the best looking chronographs - no bling and quite understated. Some find the date window an irritation of course.

We watch wis’s can be rude. While we price Rolex into heaven, others are the black sheep. Ebel is not a black sheep, but we are followers of each other. I follow the advice of my watch friend who warned me never buy any Ebel. The guy advice me Omega, and ...
