You dilly dally here, that watch you worked so hard to get will never be enough, the grail is a moving target, and you'll ask around to find out how much you can sell your kidney for to buy another watch...

Best wishes.

Same here! Once you think you have the only watch you could ever want....you scroll through the daily WRUW threads...

Congratulations! Nice story and looks perfect on your wrist.

Glide lock must be nice after the Black Bay for 7 years.

Thanks!

Oh man, it is SOO much better. My wrist swells and contracts quite a bit and I can already tell the glide lock is going to make a world of difference. For so long I’ve had to trade off between a bracelet that is sometimes too loose and other times leaves imprints on my wrist because it’s too tight.

Here’s a few pics of the Zenith. It’s a great watch in its own right. Very impressed with the quality and attention to details. It also has the El Primero movement that beats at 5Hz and powers the quirky little seconds dial which makes a full pass every 10 seconds. Not really useful, but adds a bit of flare to the watch. Also the mechanism to change the integrated bracelet/strap is one of the nicest I’ve seen.

BUT……it doesn’t tug at my heart like the Submariner does. For me, the Zenith was a purchase, the Submariner was a journey.
