ubiquitous Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 I am not exactly certain why... But I have a strange fascination/attraction to this thing: Always found it intriguing... Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 ooooh -- me likey i think i'd probably like it better without the "rxw zeromaster" markings though i say go for it deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tickertp Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 I actually had one of these; bought it on the bay a couple of years back for $650. Liked it a lot,but got the equivalent of $11-1200 when I traded it towards a gen Breitling at an NAWCC show. Then I traded the Breitling for a gen GMT that I'm wearing at the moment, but still miss the Zeromaster and now they're much harder to find and more expensive when found... Oh well, the vagaries of the watch hobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Not my cup of tea but it looks substantial! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 No denying, it's a unique looking watch! What's even more interesting to me is that the RXW is based on a Rolex design from 1938. Pretty forward thinking for aesthetics... Definitely ahead of it's time for that era. @delta- I think I'd like it much more without the text on the dial as well. Maybe sterile might look best, or maybe just with zeromaster minus the RXW Solid text... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexfinder Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 I have one of this. It is based on the Rolex that the last pics. However, RXW also did the other model called Zerographer which copy all function of it. Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Paul- Indeed, that Zerographer is a nice recreation/hommage using a Lemania movement. There's actually one on the Bay right now that I've been looking at for the past few days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavidoc Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I had one of these and it was a cool watch. The only thing I didn't care for was the extreme concavity (is that a word) of the bezel and the way it met up with th high dome of the crystal. That feature just wasn't aesthetically pleasing to my designer eye so I ended up selling it for $300 more then I had bought it for. What's funny is that I bought it from a friend of a friend but sold it on.....wait for it....watchuseek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hmmmm... Seems like watchuseek is the joint to look for one of these. When the time comes, I know where to look! Thanks, guys! R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
