Great watch
Looks like it has never been worn. Looks stunning after almost 5 years. I do have a thing about Zenith's PVD coated titanium cases though in that the PVD coating does wear off rather fast around the edges as it brushes against shirts sleeves. I wish they would not use it anymore, and just developed black titanium. I sent mine to be re-coated, and got a negative from the Zenith service center in Shanghai.
Next year is the 45th anniversary of the El Primero. Looking forward to the new collection.
And the Starck juicer!? Great designer but does he have to design everything? (I love his designs for Baccarat)

Zenith El Primero New Vintage - Revisiting an "old friend"
Team, For unknown reasons my SS version gets lots more of wrist time but I love this one very much. I did a review of my "El Primero New Vintage Titanium" some time back. Click here to see . Today, with all Christmas chores done, I decided to wear it and ...
Nilo, nice watch!
And that is a Philippe Starck lemon juicer in the first picture, right? Enjoy your black beauty on Christmas Eve!
Amazing ...
Anatol, Thank you very much and YES, it's a Philippe Starck lime/lemon juicer. Any idea about the other device? I have no clue. Cheers, Nilo
Nice watch
Beautiful watch. I'm a very close to pulling the trigger on the steel version.
Just a wild guess...
we are talking about unusually usual great piece from Zenith on Philippe Starck Lemon Squeezer? Love the photos Damjan Note to myself first read responses of other members then reply!!! :) So let's try second some kind of marine bell? Rashly Damjan
Well, the lemon juicer ...
Was easy. The bronze device is not a bell, since it does not have a clapper or a place to put one. Try again. Cheers, Nilo

Thank you ...
I'm glad that I live on a place and my business don't requires formal attire. I never consider that this helps to preserve my single black watch. About your question "Great designer but does he have to design everything?", I believe that the answer is "mo...
My favourite Zenith by far ....
Although I do have a new darling ... The 1969 will always remain a firm favourite ! From Zenith stable of course .... catching the light ! Love that gorgeous onion crown ! More on that later .... Thank you for all the wonderful work you have done on the Z...
Wow Flamenco
That 40mm looks gorgeous on the black croc strap. Congratulations and welcome to the Type 20 Club! What an inspirational idea to change the strap. Might just have to do the same with mine! Merry Christmas, Dean
Turns the Type 20 Dressy ;)
Very much wanted the larger iteration .... unfortunately there was no way my puny wirst could carry it off .... That dial , the hands & that crown .... Gorgeous ! The Elite 681 is not to shabby either :) A dress variant suits me just fine and I can en...
re: old friend
This should definitely be worn more often! Wear it in the best of health and happy holidays Nilomis! -MW
Nice pictures, my friend. As for your question
The unknown reason why you more often wear the SS version...I had a feeling when I looked at the black titanium version... I wondered if I would not get rid of it too quickly... Black case, darkened open dial ,well... I didn't feel comfortable with that, ...
You are absolutely right but ...
It's a limited edition to 250 pieces. If I flipped this one it will be nearly impossible to acquire another. You know that I'm a very active flipper but this one will stay in the bank for more time. Cheers, Nilo
Like good red wine
It has to be kept and worn from time to time to appreciate. My SS NV69 was on black croc and I found it too dressy. Since it's strapped on a di modell rallye, I wear it more often. Sometimes I think of selling it. And then I consider: - what a difficulty ...
Thank you and I agree with all of your considerations ...
Gargamel, For the Ti, I also consider that only 250 were made. Even considering that I'm a lost case of a "flipper", this one will stay ... forever. Cheers, Nilo
I .love it! Great pics ...
Hi Nilo, I just saw your thread I fall in love with this amazing pice. Very warm congrats from my side. If you ever want to get rid of it, please let me know. Have many, many hours and nights (not only christmas) with this wonderful watch and ongoing fun!...
That's a beautiful and rare piece to encounter 👌🏼
The overall design, combination, and execution are just phenomenal. And the skeleton dial adds lot of spices 😉 Laurent
