The sub-dials

Apr 16, 2014,04:13 AM
 

I have heard so much criticism from people over the overlapping sub-dials on this watch. But the size of the sub-dials and the main dial is in perfect proportion. And to be honest, you don't have to be a genius to be able to read the minutes on the overlapping section. Overlapping subdials look much better on this than the separate and small subdials on the new 410.  For me, this, and the larger Striking 10th brother, with the three tone sub-dials, is the perfect Zenith, and the absolute best watch you can buy for this price category.

Zenith makes me feel more feminine ...

... when categorized this beauty under the Ladies section! Got to admit that is quite a positive feeling and I went for it in a heartbeat without any hesitation or any reconsideration. Being a "boring" man for the good 40+ years or so, this "feminine" sid...  

Congratulations !

This is indeed a gorgeous watch. I know quite a private Zenith collector who has around 50 Zeniths, mostly vintage, but this is the one he wears on a daily basis. Congratulations. And although it is classified under the lady's collection, most of the peop... 

Thank you, Dean! [nt]

Your new El Primero has been the 'sleeper' of Zenith's collection . . .

. . . ever since it was introduced a few years ago. There's nothing at all feminine about it. Compactness should be . . . . . . a gender-neutral trait. Art ...  

Thanks, Art! [nt]

...am a ... cross-dresser!?? I love my 38 ZEP. Love it. Zenith makes some of the best dials out there, and they back it with a phenom in-house chrono that it breath-taking. If that (and the combination of my 5' 8" height and athletic lifestyle) makes me a...  

Great watch!

I saw it this weekend at an AD, I am very tempted too :) I don't understand this men vs women sizes at Zenith especially since the 60's models were 38 mm. To both: wear it in good health! Best, Stan
