Thank God for an understanding AD. I opted for a much simpler and more readable dial than the Chronomaster I got a few days ago. Here it is on the bracelet, but it looks better IMO on the chocolate alligator. I’ve don’t recall ever seeing a dial this particular shade of grey, but I like it’s understated elegance. Well, today I do anyway.

I agree with your assessment, this one is less confusing and easier to read. The previous model looked a little weird with the wide blue stripe in the dial IMO. I assume the small seconds is the black tipped hand in the 'open heart' area? Now, stay away from your AD for a while and enjoy it!

I think that I preferred the other one, but who the heck cares about that - if this is the right one for you then congrats. The Zenith grey is a very unusual and appealing shade. |

The main problem I had with the other one and some of the less "plain" Chronomaster dials, is I had trouoble telling the time. Oh! I saw this flyback chrono in the display - hour and minute sub-totalizers, moon phase at 6, and day, date a,and months apertures all on a white and silver guilloche. MAN! At 43 mm that one is in the running in a couple months. List - $13,000 on bracelet. But I don't think I'll ever get that Breguet Type XXII out of my head. |

I'm with Roff on this one but thats a beauty too! That bracelet is the business though, much better than a strap IMO. Still a great looking watch! Cheers |

I did not like the stripe on the other dial, this one is much cleaner looking....although I loved the choco croc strap. Nice pick up! |

Oh but I kept the chocolate alligator strap. Just didn't have time to swap out for pics. It looks quite nice IMHO. |

Good call keeping the gator strap! That's going to look amazing. |

Wow, that is a beautiful watch. I'm not too big a fan of Zenith's  but that is an outstanding watch. Good luck with it.

Sharkman, what can I say... I am jealous. You have aquired more watches in such a short time that I'll never be able to catch up!  You have raised the bar.

Yes but I sold/trade too, so the total # has remained constant for the last couple months but the diversity has increased. I got a late start - first nice watch at 52 and I'll be 53 in August. Time's a wasting. |

Looking at this watch, I cant stop thinking that someone with a black eye is smiling at me. |

I couldn't agree more - if a black eye has highly decorated bridges, a half dozen visible jewels, a balance wheel whirring faster than any I've seen, and the amazing site of 2 pallet jewels stopping and releasing the escapment wheel 10 distinct times per second. Yessir, couldn't agree more.
