But, truth is, I actually have a soft spot for this one.  The rose gold version is particularly nice.  smile

Too many functions in one watch may not be desireable

Zenith Doublematic El primero 4046, automatic, chronograph, power reserve, alarm, date, world time. TOO MUCH? What is your opinion? To me it looks like a cross between an El Primero and a G-P Servicing must be a nightmare And I'm speaking as one who has ...

when this watch was released, I wanted it so much but financially it was not affordable for me. Then the desire passed me but every now and then I check online its price. For me, this is not a watch that must be asked if it is wearable or not, it is a tec...

A bit much for me. I have a general rule not to buy watches that have chronograph+other complications. I love complications, but chronos seem to get dropped into everything. Plus, this watch is like 45mm in diameter and 16mm thick, right? Too big for me.

You're right...

Agree with you Mike.

Amazing package

Well, I think it is an amazing package. Possibly too much happening, that's strictly a matter of opinion but, wow. Servicing will be pricey for sure, I wonder how these pieces have been holding up?

Great watch

An eaten 9. Sub dials which overlap numbers.... So much complications, an over complicated watch. Complexity. Having rules which watches are part of a collection, is a system i work with. Judging hard, will keep up the right watches. Complications are fin...
