·Hi all,
So I'd been looking to add a new watch to my small collection after a short while ago adding an all original vintage Omega Baby PloProf and was being drawn towards to either a Omega Speedmaster or the new Omega SM 300 but being easily distracted and after seeing someone posting their newly acquired vintage Zenith Rainbow Fly-Back I was taken off in another direction.
I really got hooked on the vintage Zenith De Luca's and whilst actively searching for the right one ended up visiting a Zenith AD and in their window display one watch just caught my attention and drew me in so after trying it on a waiting a couple of days to make sure it was what I really wanted I was back and purchased it a Zenith El Primero Red Ltd Edition 42mm #229/500. There is just something about how it feels on the wrist and the look of the dial that drew me into getting this watch for me its the perfect size not being to big or small or thick. Also it having one of the best if the not the best automatic chronograph movements doesn't hurt either and especially when you can look at this beautifully finished movement through the see through sapphire case back it really is a thing of beauty. So here it is my first Zenith

. That is a stunning color scheme and very refreshing to the usual tri color subdials. Colored numbered dates is a new one for me.
