Hi to all,which would you choose and why

fleabag · 20 June 2010, 10:01 PM

OH sorry,both S/S !

nauticajoe · 20 June 2010, 10:04 PM

I prefer the in-house movement.

swissautopro · 20 June 2010, 10:15 PM

Zenith for me. Particularly, an "L" serial, floating Cosmograph, inverted 6, with 200 UPH bezel.

E.Peynado · 20 June 2010, 10:29 PM

Both !!

ral · 21 June 2010, 12:19 AM

What makes Rolex watches special is that the movements are built in house...

Prince · 21 June 2010, 12:21 AM

Zenith Daytona - 'cause I have one!

johnny80s · 21 June 2010, 01:06 AM

The 4130 is one of the best movements ever made.

R S · 21 June 2010, 01:15 AM

New 4130 movement made in-house.

Art 1 · 21 June 2010, 01:58 AM

Zenith because I don't have one.

Well the Zenith movements are built in-house too,then downgraded from 36000BPH to 28800 BPH by Rolex .Same for all ETA and Valjoux movements all 100% in-house built.And even Rolex is not 100% in-house built as they still out source mainsprings, and still not 100% yet in-house in all escapement parts like hairsprings.While the 4130 is a very fine movement and the first chronograph that Rolex has ever made in 2000.The Zenith has been around for 40 years and one of the finest chronograph movements ever made especially when its in its normal 36000BPH mode.And today there are well over 600,000 Zenith El-Primo chronograph movements in various brand watches to date in this world today.

Zenith for me--classic--Patrizzi dial.

esm · 21 June 2010, 04:43 AM

2010 for me. If I want a Zenith chrono movement timepiece, I'd get an El Primo ;-)

Yeah ! Everything he said.

whiskyguy · 21 June 2010, 06:47 AM

Zenith

I prefer the dial layout, the legibility, and the relative rarity.

Cheers
