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 and leave this sort or thing to AP.

Zenith Coffee House Tales (viii): Zenith got Sticky Fingers with the Rolling Stones

 
 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...!

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

and I agree, both are a bit 'dated' if you like - thus they may be a good fit? *let their watches sell on merit alone* - full agreement here! Best, Magnus

Honestly, 10 years before, I wouldn't have been surprised nor disappointed.

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

But Nico, it has no date ;-) [nt]

I asked for any new watch to shoot.... Guess what they showed me?! ;) 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...
