Perpetual calendar, "Moonage" display, flyback chrono, display back, 43.5MM, steel for about 9K and WG for 13K

Am I missing something here?

Ah-ha, but it's only good value if you can afford it!

Don't know much about Feel Good Watches, so you would obviously have to check that out. You also need to check the age of the watch - could be several years old (I think that these have been around for about 8 years or so).

To answer your question though, yes you are missing something. Caliber 4009 is not perpetual.

Roff, your statement makes sense in that an annual calendar would go for those prices, but all the sources I found say it is a perpetual calendar

Also, I had not intended to get it from FeelGoodWatches, my AD offered me those prices for BNIB models.

If you are going to get a Zenith, get Chronomaster XXT Open Grande Date. Sexy ass watch.

Not a big fan of the XXT open watches, too out there for me. The Zenith Grande XT is much better looking in my opinion.

The only Open Zenith I like is the Defy Classic Open 46MM. Unique, but not freakishly so.

99.9% sure that it's a full calendar movement, although Google's not much help.

Make sure that you try it at an AD because I am fairly convinced that it's non perpetual.

Oh and you're wrong about the Chronomaster XXT Open :poke: :wink:
