Zenith Captain Ultra Thin

Checked this out today.

It's a 40mm SS case.

Anyone have any experience or thoughts on it?!

Good value from a respected manufacture. That particular piece looks classy.

My only gripe would be the small crown and overly large numerals

Manufacture movement from a respected brand, ultra thin, elegant for a price that's about half of anything comparable out there. What's not to like? Mine says hi!

I was actually surprised by the quality of the dial.

Agree on the oversize numerals; it does seem to make the watch wear a lot larger than 40mm.

Would love a 38, but also oh so affordable.

This is my current other option; few more bucks although slightly more appropriate size for a dress watch at 38.
