the Winsor is exceptional to me, especially the black-blue dial version. So despite not having seen an actual piece, and despite the best intention of my regular AD, I went for the black-blue dial. Well, let's see how it turns out when it arrives in Oct. ...

Always make my mouth water... Such tasteful food and wine would distract me, even the watches being Zenith. Thanks, Kong!

Looks fun

the Stratos Black got the most attention. However, after realising the price of the annual calender Winsor, it has swing some votes for that evening. Which do you like? Kong

Many thanks to Zenith & Kong
