Could easily be a stuffed falcon, you never know lol

You may be right - if I'm not mistaken, he has on his left wrist the Defy Extreme Tourbillon King Arthur Edition with Mounted Falcon, in PLATINUM.

Which one is the Zenith? Which one is the Invicta?

Wow, how disappointed were Zenith collectors during the Nataf era?

I don't recall being all that disappointed. It's the period when my interest in Zenith developed, in part because the vintage stuff was so cheap. And weirdly, old Thierry actually made some pretty inspired historical reissues alongside his monstrosities - much better than anything that has been issued since. Only the New Cairelli may meet or exceed the standards of the Nataf-era New Vintage 1965 and New Vintage 1969. Even if you didn't like those, Thierry was so amazingly easy to mock, it blunted the impact of the disappointment in the regular models.

Catching up on this very old thread. He does look like he could run a night club.
