Congratulations Bruno. That many months ago? Time flies.
I can still remember when you asked whether it was too big for the wrist. From the honest wristshot, and the honest answer is it certainly looks good on your wrist and does not appear too big at all. Thumbs up! Looks good actually. Congrats! Nice. On it's own it looks huge. On your huge wrist it looks perfect.
A massive piece of history in a modern watch
A massive piece of history in a modern watch Ordered it about 8 months ago and it arrived this week. :-) Right from the start I wanted this piece. Owning El Primero's and Elite movement watches a 5011 was a dream. In the past I thought about it several ti...
Marvelous ...
Bruno, I'm following your quest for this watch since it started. My deep congratulations for this major event. I barely can imagine your emotions when you got it. Cheers, Nilo Note: Wonderful pictures, as usual.
scary size....
.... especially when looking at it next to the AP that i know. But looks interesting. Congratulations!
If you don't mind the most terrible wristshot EVER ...
like said, please don't judge the picture and certainly not the lousy t-shirt LOL but I think I can say the watch looks great on my wrist ...
quite good actually...
... i don't know if its done on purpose, but the position of your arms enhances the size of your forearm, making the watch look perfect on your wrist :) I got a big wrist and arm as well, strangely, i got used to 40mm watches, now have difficulty wearing ...
It looks big on your wrist... but it is ok... I saw much worse!
Maybe because you ate soup as a child! ;) Fx
Works fine on your wrist ...
Looks great. The wrist shot is not that bad. Of course the Zenith attracts the eyes. Cheers Nilo

it works!
wow! you can definitely pull it off, in my opinion. it is a gorgeous hunk of metal, but impossibly huge...or so i thought. now i see it on you, and it looks fantastic! chris
Very important HOW you take your picture.
Imo it is very important how you take your own wristshot. When putting your arm in front of the camera you focus too much on just the watch and doing so all watches look bigger. It's better if you put your hand in your pocket and ask a friend to take a pi...
oh ... come on
you know it looks much better on MY wrist ... LOOOOOOL !!!! [URL=] [/URL] ...
You have the wrist to pull this off...
..and it looks great. All I can say is that small vintages must look positively microscopic on you ;-)
Aaah, the Zenith Special!
A real piece with historyt! Bravo, Bruno. Best, Nicolas PS: Pics to be credited to Zaf. ...
at the opposite end of the size spectrum...
...I like my tiny 32mm Zenith Pilot just fine... ...
Huge (I think it is the right word) congrats Bruno!
Finally the Aeronef landed in Belgium! ;) Congrats for this superlative watch, I'm sure that you will enjoy a lot this beautiful movement. Fx
That is sort of like
putting a dual-y pick up truck next to an 18 wheeler... and saying, size seems ok! can't we admit when a watch is ludicrously, cartoonishly, un-wearably big? I appreciate decorum very much and with sincerity, but not to the pint that we never share our tr...
UH...
Damn, I did not realize you bought the watch for yourself. Looked at pics mainly. My very sincere apologies to you. My opinion is just one in a storm. I will have to stop posting 'off the cuff' so much. Please enjoy your watch and take one man's opinion f...
I appreciate your thoughts
no need to apologize! it would be a very boring world if we all liked and disliked the same watches. And I know that the size of this piece is an issue for some ( most) people. It is gigantic. But for me the watch is so beautifull and the movement is so s...
You are very gracious
and make excellent points for the size argument, and who knew such a Patek existed?! Thanks for such a kind (and interesting) reply Bruno. Your confidence in this piece makes me take a second and third look, and shows me what a real, individual collector ...
Fantastic I'm so happy for you I know how much you wanted it
Many many congrats to you mate :) Best Imran
What can I say, Bruno...
Your enthusiasm for this piece (and I have followed it over a period of how many months of your waiting) matches the size of this piece of art. Reading your posts from before, I guess we all knew how you were in love with this piece and we're all just too...
Congrats Bruno!!
And what amazing clear pictures! It looks great on your wrist and I am surprised how similar in size it looks to the Legacy. Its true about the angle of the photography, have you ever bought smart shoes while wearing shorts... Looks terrible even in a mir...
