Zenith Grande Port Royal El Primero

Ever since I went to St Thomas in July and the many watch shops there, this one jumped up and bit me in the watch bone. Finally saved enough to get one. Although I usually am a freak about watch hand legibility, this one I chalk up to an ideosincracy that I have grone to like while wearing it.

Thanks Tony,
I really need a better camera to do the watch justice. It's on my list of things to get.

The Zenith brand is making a move. I think in a couple of years they will held in much higher regard by all watch buyers.

They are one of only a few that actually display working watches at Basel and have them for sale almost immediately after the show. Here we are, almost halfway through Oct and it's still rare to see a DD-II, new Sub or SDDS. I find Zenith's approach much more professional.

I think that is a beautiful timepiece. Some of Zenith's newer designs are not my cup of tea, especially the open dial models, having said that I do like some of the older stuff. Yours is very classic looking watch. Congrats.
