Going with the monster today, not so shabby for a cheapo seiko imho. No Phillip standard on the photos this morning I`m afraid, as we are relying on a crappy Samsung Galaxy to document ...  Last edited on Tue Feb 28th, 2012 05:34 am by FnuSnu99 |

Very happy to be active on 3T.Some call this a handwind El Primero. A bit of a contradiction in terms, I'd say. Zenith is definitely right up there with the big boys. Unfortunately some design blunders in the "Defy" era, but that is in the past. I love this model, Jeff! Thanks for 6K of entertainment on here, btw! |

Very happy to be active on 3T.Some call this a handwind El Primero. A bit of a contradiction in terms, I'd say. Much contradiction in fact Graham... Zenith produce the El Primero(auto) caliber in 1969, stop the production during the quartz era and restart it in 84. The Elite caliber don't surface before 1994: First as an automatic version and soon after as a hand-wound alternative. The Elite is beating at 28800bpm and the El Primero at 36000bpm. The El Primero(420) hand-wound version seems to appear during the same period as the Elite caliber but the conception is very different as it is just a usual El Primero without it's automatic module. |

exc-hulk wrote: stew77 wrote:Halios 1000m. Phil...thanks my friend!  Agreed...the hand set is killer, and the watch itself is very different than anything else I have. You are right, could have gotten away with being a bit thicker...but I have to admit the 14.5mm thickness makes it very balanced on the wrist given the generous 47mm width dimension. btw...love your Monstrum today too! Such a cool piece by Orsa (I miss the blue one that I used to have), and one of the coolest casebacks ever! |

Thx for the quick reply, I think it has to be a thin strap on this one :( |

But no $$$ at the moment.  Two new incomings on its way !Thankx for your kind words about my ORSA. I love the creations from ORSA very much. +1 The caseback is really outstanding ! |

Those racy designs just weren't reflective of the Zenith soul. I'm glad that guy's not running the show anymore. Here's to 7,000, Bro!  |
