...let's not get carried away there Will! There is the gap with the Walts...some would say this makes the Zilla look even a bit more toolish, no?
One thing I've come to appreciate, with the nice perspective shots that you've posted, is that the Suppas definitely change the lines of the watch quite a bit...extending the wheelbase due to the longer lug-to-lug distance which I'm finding gives the whole combination a more balanced look that I'm liking alot (not to mention the fact that it's better integrated with no gap). I'm thinking it may even wear a little more stable on the wrist due to the longer wheelbase and the way the suppa lugs curve downward around the wrist.
The "toolish" stuff is a bad excuse in my eyes: The Promaster 1000m is a well designed watch and if Citizen would have concieved lugs, they would have continue this way. Design is everything at the end.
The Walts are just a fast solution who was thought a practical way only: But everyone knows that you can't think only practical on a watch...
Or it look like hell and it's uncomfortable.
Bottom line is, that if Walt would have think it longer, he would have a quasi monopoly on the Zilla lugs.
Master says...Never rush an idea to conception.
So you're saying the Zilla is a well designed watch, except for the misconceived lugs? (I'm assuming you dislike the watch on the OEM rubber).
I've enjoyed the Walts for sure, but I have ordered the blasted Ti Suppas and can't wait to give them a spin. I really do think that they improve the overall design/lines of the Zilla.
