Thanks for the report, Magnus.
I've a plain Zenith Elite watch somewhere but it has a plain white lacquer dial.
I think this 36mm case is a tad small for my wrist but the 42mm is "fashionably" too big.
Now that the Age of Huge watches is over, I would venture for a classic 38 - 39mm case.
A mother-of-pearl dial can be worn by men as they were since the beginning of Time.
