Nice TW Zenith.

I'd be insulted if I owned a Zenith.

Special obviously meaning challenged.

Look on the bright side, it will spend so long being repaired that you won't have to look at it much.

Yeah, it's definitely very "SPECIAL" . . . or something.

It seems as if Zenith is losing its soul as well. Ever since they ruined the Chronomaster Open XXT last year, I haven't been as hot on the brand as I once thought I was. Also, Roff's experiences turn me off as well, but if someone read all my stuff on the B01 issues I've had, they may be just as turned off from Breitling. I suppose the reliability thing is just hit or miss.

Here's how I'll remember the president of Zenith when he gets fired.

Gotta be a few good captions for this pic.


How about... "Yes, punch him!"

Don't know how I missed this one! Wow, what a miss. First off, it's not as though Zenith has any pilot history, right? Secondly, it just cries out, "I am NOT a Zenith." Thirdly, it is f'ing ugly period.

Oh well, they have done pretty darn well the last couple years, so I won't rag on Zenith. Though Roff can since his watch will forever be stuck in their service vortex.

Would have to agree with the rest of ya'll on this one....Zenith missed the mark entirely with this offering. No appeal what-so-ever on this one and who is the "Goober" with the fricking wall clock on his wrist dressed in a suit?
