 By: Ornatus-Mundi : September 29th, 2014-12:13
After a short break of the Coffee House series I am going to resume - with a cheeky version of the El Primero, the El Primero Chronomaster 1969 Tribute To The Rolling Stones : Limited to 250 pieces worldwide (and being glad that I got the name written cor...  

Maybe something for Art...?! ;)

I recall he is a big fan of the Rolling Stones! :) More serious, personally I am not a big fan of these kind of Limited Editions, especially if the "base" version already is a LE itself. At least I find that Zenith made this one in a tasteful way (or as t... 

No, no! I was talking in general...!

The game some brands play - Limited Edition of a Limited Edition.... :( Best Blomman

A nice write up as usual, how about Zenith ditch their fledgling ambassador scheme and let their watches sell on merit alone, I didn't need geriatric rock stars to sway my decision on my last two purchases, just keep building great, well priced watches an... 

Well, the RS had their fame *roughly* around the same time as the El Primero...

Now, I was thinking, for a few minutes, if Mr Nataf was back at the helm of Zenith. The " open window " between 10 ans 12 o clock plus the tongue... Well... It kills the Watch, for me. Best, Nicolas

Remove the toung and the hole in the dial and it is perfect! ;) Best Blomman

The painted logo is executed nicely, but...

...I am lukewarm to this limited edition. It is not bad looking - I know the open dial is controversial, but it doesn't offer a different look compared to the regular version. Breitling sometimes does this, but Hublot and AP usually put out more interesti...
