Re: 2016 targets?
If funds were no concern, it would be the Zenith for me. You don't see many around.
Re: 2016 targets?
Steve, I know you are bit off Bremont these days, but the new polished-case Alt1-C/PW is a lovely watch in the metal - traditional, dressy and still a tough case that should remain pristine.

Re: 2016 targets?
I may have a perfect trio, but it hasn't prevented me from considering a cull to buy one.
Potentially sell:
Explorer 14270
Seiko MM300
PRS-14
To buy:
Sub 14060, or Sea Dweller 16600 or 16610

Re: 2016 targets?
Thanks Richard. I do like the look of that Alt1-C and, indeed, most of the other Alt1-C variants too, particularly from above, ie looking at the dial. However, I know that they would be too tall for me and 43mm is a little outside my 38-42mm preferred range. Even 42mm is pushing it unless the watch is suitably thin (like the Speedmaster).downer wrote:Steve, I know you are bit off Bremont these days, but the new polished-case Alt1-C/PW is a lovely watch in the metal - traditional, dressy and still a tough case that should remain pristine.
I've plenty of time to think anyway, as I won't have the funds for a fair while yet!

Re: 2016 targets?
That is undeniably beautiful, Greg, but I'm not sure it would hold enough interest for me in the long term. Also, whatever I choose will really need to have a bracelet option.gwells wrote:you could also look at the zenith classic chrono.
Not discounting a different Zenith though!

Re: 2016 targets?
Well Steve I have a feeling you will go for a Zenith with 3 different colour sub dials. It's been on your wish list for ages and it seems you prefer it to a BLNR.welshlad wrote:That is undeniably beautiful, Greg, but I'm not sure it would hold enough interest for me in the long term.

Re: 2016 targets?
Haha! Someone's seen a post on TZUK! I do prefer the Zenith EP over a BLNR, but that's primarily as I've already got the GMT functionality covered by my Explorer II (and possibly by another incoming ) as well as the Rolex bezelled sports look covered by my SDc.nbg wrote:Well Steve I have a feeling you will go for a Zenith with 3 different colour sub dials.

At the moment, in my mind I have a two-horse race between the Zenith EP and the Daytona. But one is roughly twice the (street) price of the other!
No rush though, so plenty of more research can yet be done!

Yes, but they are both reassuringly expensive!welshlad wrote:Haha! Someone's seen a post on TZUK!

Re: 2016 targets?
Hi Steve....did I read somewhere that Zenith made the movement for Rolex in the Daytona's until about 2011 when they went in house?
