That is a superb piece, is it to go into often worn rotation or more fot eh collection?
I have a 2003 Breitling Blackbird, a Bremont MB3 and a Dornbleuth 99.0 to rotate it with but I do try to wear them all. I appreciate collectors and their lovely pieces but I view watches like cars and believe they should be used and appreciated.
I'll probably out the Dornbleuth in the near future as I don't have any need for a dress watch these days, and SWMBO is getting a bit noisy about the size of my watch collection as my "Beaters" are kept in another box and she thinks I just have too many in total

It will be worn regularly as I bought it as a memento of my late mother. Her address was Flat 4 in her building so a Flat 4 Kermit seemed appropriate

Completely agree on the wearing everything, or at least trying to. Only watch I have that I don't really wear is a Rolex DJ 41 fluted, RG/steel, choco dial. It's carded on my daughters birthday and the plan is to give to her at 18 so want it to be like new.
Good idea to move on pieces not worn, I did this during the hype pricing last year with two watches that still had factory stickers -15202ST and 26331ST. This year I want to complete some grail pieces, and not just pick up everything the AD offers. PP and VC have offered me two watches each so far this year but have turned both down as not really what I want. If this means I am back on the naughty list then so be it, I'm over the playing games at this point for sports models with all brands.

I had the call yesterday on the VC Overseas Dual Time in steel.
I am conflicted. I want it, but I just bought another pricey watch and need to be sensible...
I'll 100% take that if you do not want it, my very good friend in Canada has been looking for one from the AD for years.I am conflicted. I want it, but I just bought another pricey watch and need to be sensible...
If you are serious, PM me. I'll call VC back on Monday. It would be good for it to go to someone who really wants it.
But for the Zenith Chronomaster Sport in rose gold that I am fixated on, I may have sold some watches for the VC, but my head has been turned...

Also don't blame you at all on being swayed by the Zenith, I have looked at it so so many times.

It's the boutique, yes. Shall check my email later. If I remember from speaking to them, this is the white faces one, so do check what your friend is after..most want the blue (I preferred the pearly white!).
ETA have responded and also sent a WhatsApp message.

Came close to ordering the bi metal one in November last year but ended up going for the 360 instead
