Skagen today, slips under the cuffs nicely - not worn this for a while, I appreciate what they do for a "fashion" watch.

That's virtually the width of your entire wrist!

After years of wanting one of these, finally managed to grab one and at a useful 40% off RRP. I'm very happy with it, I love the reverse panda look/contrast. Sure I don't need the ability to time to 1/10 of a second but I love that it can, and the 10 second chronograph sweep is very pleasing.

Great looking watch! How on earth did you get such a good discount? Used?

A less-often-seen one today. At least, I've never seen another.

That’s an absolute beauty!! And sounds like a bargain, 40%?

Thanks, I'm really loving it, it's very quickly becoming my favourite of my humble collection.

Watches of Switzerland group (including goldsmiths and Mappin and webb) had a sale on for a number of watches including a number of zeniths. I tried on the Revival but it was always the Original that I wanted. I had to fight for it as my original order was cancelled due to stock shortages but I got lucky at someone failed to collect theirs and it was allocated to me after several calls to customer service

So yes, I got my brand new (okay it was a display model) for 40% off RRP. It was too good of a deal to refuse and it's a lovely watch.

Just arrived. It's quite lovely. Always looks a bit "dull" in photos, there's loads of contrast in person and the dial is more a soft warm grey than brown.

Stunning watch, the bright sunlight photo really shows off the face.

Ta! It's mostly more subtle than that, texture but not a obvious.

The other but that doesn't come across in photos is how the indices and hands really stand out against the face, 'cos they're constantly catching light and reflections.

And the power reserve dual is much less in-your-face in person. And the bracelet links are brushed except at the edges, which have a very thin polished line. I keep seeing more niceness in it.

Ordered on Chrono24 on Friday, here from Japan today. Might need a half-link added back into the bracelet but that's easy enough as long as I don't lose a collar...
