Agree, get both

While the Striking 10th has the more interesting movement. The Red/Blue Primeros are so attractive. And they lack the dismal subdial overlap that plagues the Striking 10th and almost all other Zeniths. I wouldn't be able to decide between the Red or Blue. I've seen the Red live and it's awesome. The Blue one I haven't seen. Based on pics, I wish the blue color were a little darker.

. . . I managed to try one on yesterday. The minimalist design with a touch of red flair is tasteful, no?

The Striking 1/10th . . .

. . . was very close to becoming a part of my collection purely on the strength of its functional relevance. The one purpose I have for a chrono is timing races, so read-out to a tenth of a second is actually useful. The reason I gave greater weight to ae... 

Can only agree with you, Art! I love the elegance of the striking tenth

And the overlapping subdials are playing a big role in the character of the watch and its individuality. Best regards Luc

It's nice to see that at least one fellow Purist appreciates . . .

You are welcome Art, I was also surprised to see the subdials so controversial, i fell in love immediately! Best regards Luc...  

why not this one

this one is growing on me ... only think i don't like very much is the overlap of the subdials ... the blue or red primero doesn't have the overlap but the dial of this one is imo very attractive...  

I didn't like than one at all...

Sorry for the crappy pic from a magazine, but I didn't get a wrist shot of this one that my AD had 30 of made. I tried it on when I was there and it felt huge but still very comfortable. It was on a black gator strap with red stitching. The red accents on...

Thanks for the pictures, the red and the blue look great. Ive been aiming to buy a Striking 10th as it is an unusual movement. There are really any Zenith's i don't like from the current collection. So confusing as i like the new Doublematic as well!!! Fo...
