fotoman Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 well, its listed for 295 - i'm not sure its worth 295. I guess this is that new movement - but its fantasy all the way i'll be interested to see if anyone gets one and if it has some sort of super dial or case http://www.kingshowbox.com/goods.php?id=971
By-Tor Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Wow, a Zenith rep. World must be ending! The white one is nicer, imho. Looks like this watch comes with Venus/Seagull hand wind. Is it a complete fantasy?
italiano17771 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 there is hope!!! maybe we can see some nice zenith's coming out in the next few months!!
anton Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 It seems like this is a fantasy based on the Chronomaster Quantieme Perpetual: Still looks good though for a sub $300 Zenith. Looks like we'll pass and see what the future has for us, no?
By-Tor Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 @italiano: I hear you. And let's hope this one is waiting at the rainbow's end (pun intended). It will have wrong spacing, but who cares... I know I don't.
frankt Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 I own this same watch....But mine is rose gold, and says Vacheron Constatin on the dial...And...$300. is wayyyyy more than I paid!!...This is the latest version of the ST-19 Seagull movement, with a date and moon phase feature added...Nice "fantasy" piece, but has no basis in reality...But who cares..?? Who even ever HEARD of a VC but us watch watchwonks??? ;)

Who even ever HEARD of a VC but us watch watchwonks??? ;) The movement is the only thing worthwhile about this watch, and the dozen-or-so variants currently being produced with the exact same design except under the label of Breguet, VC, Patek, AP, Lange, Maurice Lacroix, etc. These watches turn a huge profit for the manufacturers because of the similarities between each. The possibility of mass production is a no-brainer. I guess they are just running out of ideas. It's a good quality watch, just with a really silly branding. If they had invented a Swiss-sounding luxury brand name I think it might actually sell... the design is decent and the movement is robust.
vric Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) even if a rep is impossible, this is what I would get if I ever have the money for a gen! Edited May 21, 2008 by vric
Fidestro Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 I actually like that rep better than some of the technicolor rainbow on acid stuff that Zenith has been putting out lately.
iceberg1459 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 even if a rep is impossible, this is what I would get if I ever have the money for a gen! they are cheap used ebay, 3.3k
vric Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Sadly, near $5k USD isn't what I call "cheap". Edited May 22, 2008 by vric
