I finally shelled out for a modern Primero

LouS · Jan 2, 2015

Well, I got over my reservations about the modern Primeros and finally pulled the trigger. And I have to admit, it is an arresting piece.

The case is particularly well done, with some very clean lines. It's a nice update of the original

Here's a closeup of the much bemoaned dial overlap. I've gotten over it.

My biggest reservation was the size...but the cat seems to like it

Anyone know where I can find a 250mm strap?

Happy New Year!

This guy belongs in a Bond movie

Who in their right mind would buy a watch from that guy?

Pair that with a period of extreme, large, butt ugly watches and it is a miracle that Zenith still exists.

On topic - I would love to have that gigant clock on my wall!

Now you need a falcon to perch on that thing.

No Mr. Bond, I expect you to buy a Zenith

Excellent

If he turned up at your house to take your daughter out for dinner, what would the appropriate reaction be?

Look closely at the image, facial expression and falcon above before deciding

LouS, I think your cat is a time catcher

Still not big enough for the Paneristi :cool:

snick777 · Jan 3, 2015

Wow you need a bigger cat!

This thread is like a David Lynch movie. I don't know if I'm looking at tiny cats, giant watches, or a dream sequence... and wtf are falcons doing here anyway.

Cool watch though.

I suspect there will be some trouble with the chronograph functions. Case looks crisp and unpolished, though.
I am bothered only by the combination of black socks and brown pants.
