:yeahthat

But, I'd take the rubber bezel over the B01 bezel. :)

Any word on pricing for these two?

QP is over $50k if I remember correctly, probably high $20s for the 1461.

I know we've said it loads of time before, but these two watches stike me as a strange choice for a celebration of the Chronomatic's anniversary. Firstly they're not true Chronomatics as the crown is on the wrong side, and secondly they are seriously expensive, so putting them outside of the reach of many people. (Oh and the lack of using the in-house B01 is still an open sore to me!).

How much better to have made a (slightly) more affordable, left-hand-crown-equiped, steel Chronomatic with a variant of the B01 inside. Now THAT would've been a fitting tribute. Oh well, never mind......

Especially when you consider what Zenith did for the 40th anniversary of El Primero!
