Yahoooo! Got it!

I've been hunting one for a while, and I finally found a Zenith Rainbow Flyback Chronograph. Zeetan just posted one and I was sure I didn't ask for it soon enough, but I just heard back from Zeetan that he put it on hold for me. I didn't appreciate Zenith watches until I understood more about the El Primero movement, and by the time I learned more about them they stopped making this model. I don't care so much for most of the current Zenith models but I was hoping I would eventually find a NOS Rainbow. I don't like the cutouts they are doing to a lot of them and the Defy line is nice but the price would break my back. That this one is the Flyback is just gravy because I'd have been happy with just the regular chrono. Oy vey my bank account! But I cannot resist. Resistance is futile you know....

Killer watch!!! WOO WOO!!!

Hold on to that one. And wear it in good health!

I just ordered this from Zeetan about 25 minutes ago. LOL. Been on the fence with this watch for about 2 months now. Pulled the trigger since it's my birthday week and I have some cash for once since I just sold my gen Rolex Sub.

Zeetan was selling this one, a NOS at $3200. It seems from checking around that that is a fair price--not killer but OK. If you can pick up a new one for $2600 go for it. Or tell me about it! Only wish I could have found one with the color dial since that would be more "me", but the black dial is nice as well.

I am having some second thoughts though since there seems to be a lot of discontent on the Zenith forums around with where Zenith is going with the product line. Everyone fairly well despises the new CEO. Reading lot's of information that the El Primero movement is a cranky beast as well. Hope I have good luck with the watch.

What does everyone else think, is $3200 about right or too high?

I love the Flyback. But the "Rainbow" version is even more attractive (imho). I understand it's not for everybody though.

Enjoy. :)

Beautiful...Ah Zeetan's the man.

I agree with you about the Defy line...a bit over the top. They look like something off Captain Nemo's wrist.
