Thanks old friend
Not had much time to delve recently as I change my career completely after 25 yrs in derivatives, now setting up a dot com. Collection going through a complete transformation.
Reveal will come soon, but may surprise. No Zeniths as they disappoint, but more a focus on brands that impress recently like GP, JLC, and even Arnold & Sons , and my first ever Vintage Rolex and modern Patek.....
Warmest,
Dean
NEWS: A little bird told me a secret rumor you all will LOVE!!!
that is: SW300 is history at Zenith! A most controversial move for Zenith (discussions here and here ) seems to be revoked . If that is true - what a start for new CEO Aldo Magada ! Cheers, Magnus This message has been edited by Ornatus-Mundi on 2014-09-1...
So now buy one?
Well, that would be cool if true. But then: Should I buy? Greetz Oliver
Hmmm
Seems like a bit of a mess up. It's all too late for me, I have turned my back on modern Zenith for their complete lack of direction, innovation, and cohesion. I recently sold all my 5 Zenith pieces. I have absolutely no faith in a JCB puppet. Dean
Very happy to read you here again dear Dean....
.....and not only here on zenith forum I sincerely hope Yours D

Dear Dean
Looking forward "innovations" No matter how big disappointment is I hope you left Type 20 in stable From mentioned I 'm most interested in your GP choice the forum flourished since blomman took it which just reignited fiercely for GP Yours Damjan P.S. Nee...
Dear Dean, your indeed addressed a weak point - BUT ...MORE!
you mentioned a core issue (not only with Zenith) in your post: "complete lack of direction, innovation, and cohesion" I share to some extend your sentiment. There was a lot of (abrupt) change, revolution, lack of consistency in the last decade at Zenith....
Extremely keen observations
I thank you Magnus for some very keen observations and am enthused by your optimism. However much of what I am seeing at Zenith is so very typical of a large French conglomerate. I recognise this having worked for French banks in many countries for over 2...
Wow...
Will this signal the demise of this particular reference and also the captain models that are also fitted with the sellita? Or will production continue and offering the same watch but with an elite movement and a price revision?
That's a quick 180!
Although the reputation hit amongst collectors is not 100% reversible, I didn't see the demand to ramp up production of three-hand Zenith watches either. So this is a good move, on the balance. Yesterday I saw a Pilot Extra Special in the display of an AD...
Really Happy to Hear that...
Wasn't a fan and didn't do the brand any justice, if only now they can focus on their great heritage in the 60s and 70s and take it forward. S
Great news !
In any case, I'd still wait and get the Elite driven model. What can I say .... Purist at heart !
