Zenith makes me feel more feminine ...

... when categorized this beauty under the Ladies section! Got to admit that is quite a positive feeling and I went for it in a heartbeat without any hesitation or any reconsideration. Being a "boring" man for the good 40+ years or so, this "feminine" side of me will definitely makes my life a bit more interesting

I have been longing to own an El Primero for quite some time and have been searching for the right design that cases it. And when this 38mm, Orginal 1969 came into my attention, nothing seems can take it out of my mind since then. Personally, this unique tri-color sub dials are just simply beautiful! In addition, I like to collect watches of which the diameters are smaller or equal to 40 mm (The Speedy is the only exception). Here are a few photos of my El Primero Original 1969, 38 mm

I finally have one of my own! the Famous El Primero!

This is how it looks on my 15.5 cm wrist

Thanks for watching!

This is indeed a gorgeous watch. I know quite a private Zenith collector who has around 50 Zeniths, mostly vintage, but this is the one he wears on a daily basis. Congratulations. And although it is classified under the lady's collection, most of the peop...

Thank you, Dean! [nt]

The sub-dials

By: Spellbound : April 16th, 2014-04:13

I have heard so much criticism from people over the overlapping sub-dials on this watch. But the size of the sub-dials and the main dial is in perfect proportion. And to be honest, you don't have to be a genius to be able to read the minutes on the overla...

Let me be honest ...

Your new El Primero has been the 'sleeper' of Zenith's collection . . .

. . . ever since it was introduced a few years ago. There's nothing at all feminine about it. Compactness should be . . . . . . a gender-neutral trait. Art ...

Thanks, Art! [nt]

...am a ... cross-dresser!?? I love my 38 ZEP. Love it. Zenith makes some of the best dials out there, and they back it with a phenom in-house chrono that it breath-taking. If that (and the combination of my 5' 8" height and athletic lifestyle) makes me a...

Great watch!

I saw it this weekend at an AD, I am very tempted too :) I don't understand this men vs women sizes at Zenith especially since the 60's models were 38 mm. To both: wear it in good health! Best, Stan
