Chronosport. I mean really really want one.

Please make me suffer some more, if you have one post some piccies and tell me how great it has been.

Anyone else fancy a watch that normally you would run a mile from, this could be the dirty little secret watch thread.

Fabulous, love it, just so designed to be.

Seeing the dog, I don't have a wrist shot with my fake dog but here he is, the plastic interloper

I really like the Chronomaster 41mm with a white dial.

It's a nice watch, I ordered it on release, and prefer the textile strap to the bracelet, but I might prefer my older Zenith.

Totally understand the want - such a good looking watch.

I should have gotten this but went for something different.

Perhaps next time ....

Thank you to the posters showing pictures of your watches. I find these far more interesting than a high res close up promotional pictures, get a much better feel for the watch.

Everything posted so far "in real life" just enthuses me more for the watch, cheers!

Cupid thank you for the link. I enjoy Teddy's videos I thought it was going to be this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icDeZUmM2B4

The video Cupid posted has detailed some history specifics that I wasn't aware of.which gives me an even greater appreciation of Zenith.

So there you go, thanks to you good people I will have to engineer walking past a dealer that has a 38mm El Primero in stock to try it on somewhere down the line.

My Dad's watch, Angus isn't impressed.

I don't like the current different coloured subdials, I'd love to buy a new one with matching dials in his memory.

That’s beautiful, my favourite so far.

My first 'premium' watch - I got it for circa £1750 from TAG Heuer in Bicester in 2002ish

Everything about that watch hits all the marks for me. The movement, case, bezel (and especially the bracelet) are perfect.

I had all sorts of issues after I bought it though

I had a Zenith once

Everyone thought it was AWFUL :-)

I really liked it but I never wore it, so it went

Thankfully for exactly what I paid for it due to a huge Boxing Day discount at Selfridges
