By-Tor Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) I know there will never be a rep of this watch so maybe I'll buy a genuine one of these days. I dunno what's so attractive in it... but when I saw picture of this watch it was love at first sight.

leitztozeiss Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 ME TOO By-Tor!!!!! Me too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosblau Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I almost bought this watch last year. The El Primero movements are supposed to be fabulous. It's nice- but I thought it was a little too busy / colorful. I got a Bell and Ross Pilot Sapphire instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 The bright, brisky colors is *exactly* that do the trick for me with this watch. Plus the rugged stainless steel "tool watch" appearance... plus all the details that just scream quality... plus very unique appearance. Just look at the thick, red stopwatch seconds hand, crown and pushers. All pure perfection... I'm in love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irongambit Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I'm in with you guys...this is for whatever reason, one of my absolute favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Thanks for the Ebay link Alex. Lots of pics there, saved them all. It's really a shame that Zenith don't produce watches like this anymore. All their new models leave me cold (design wise). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchwatcher Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 bt, reminds me a bit of sector's dive watch (not the 'diving team') but one other they put out a few years back, unfortunately with quartz movement, but rainbow dial and, toolish bracelet in Ti. That is a cool watch, and yes, it looks great... for people who don't really care what others think about the color combo, cause when you're going down several hundred feet, nobody gonna notice.

chrono903 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) went through that phase about 8 years ago. you must resist. ownership for this ostentatious piece is usually short lived. Great watch though. great movement. Thom Edited August 15, 2006 by chrono903 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Zenith movements are great. I agree with you on this one. I'd luv to have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 The colour dial version is more expensive than the black and white one. I think this watch is becoming a collectors piece. This is my favourite zenith bytheway. One of the little gens I would buy myself. The rest replicas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomBombadil Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I agree, this is a great watch. Get it now while prices are still 'reasonable'. It's getting more attractive to collectors all of the time. Zenith's watches are highly regarded and their new lines are spinning out of control which is making the vintage pieces more collectable. The black and white one is great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usil Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) I saw some nice Zenith reps early this year and then they were gone. I keep looking even now but no more have shown up. I really liked some of the models they reped. Where did they go? Usil Edited August 19, 2006 by Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Love the El Primero... In many different guises... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
