Very nice! I like the shape of the pushers and the blue in the dial. I think zenith is way under appreciated

Not by anyone who knows about watches. You have an in-house complication at a reasonable price.

It's a very sensible, straightforward honest timepiece. It may be an experiment for you but many have tried Zenith and been quite pleased.

Zenith "second class"?!? I don't think so at all.

Great, reliable pieces that really shout you KNOW watches.

Really spectacular example too- I like it a lot!

I love the design of this watch, but if I remember correctly, it is like 45mm and 15mm thick. So it's a little bigger than what I would want.

If I am wrong, please correct me! It will make my short list if so.

Put it on your list. The case is 42mm dia, not sure on the thickness but I dont think it is near 15mm

You're right.

No idea where I got those dimensions from...

I do wish it had a little bit more WR.

Zenith is a great watch with a lot of heritage. The Captain kind with the El Primero movement is a lot of bang for the buck, especially when you consider the complications the Winsor includes.
