Yes, it is a beautiful watch. Got the opportunity to try on the Striking 10th today and LOVED it! Just a gorgeous timepiece. Comfortable, well made, accurate and well priced. Yes I will own this watch very very soon.

Nice choice, enjoy your new watch!

Cannot go wrong with Zenith ! Close to perfect quality, the El Primero movement is also top notch.

The problem is they are trying to get the cases sizes down to around 42mm, as opposed to the 45-46mm sizes prevalent a few years ago under the Nataf regime. To keep the subdials large enough to be easily read, they are overlapping the edges.
I'm probably in a minority then but I love the overlapping sub-dials!
