Awesome! Nice watch!!

Nice little ChronoMaster! The simplicity is its beauty.

A bit too much gold for my liking... Otherwise nice watch!

Nice!!!

Nicely captured.

Wow! You've had this since 1996?! You've kept it in very good shape! Nice!!

It's a nice looking watch. Just a curiousity why you went for a quartz movement rather than a mechanical one?

Let me try to answer you this way:
If someone were to give me a Maurice Lacroix, I'd say: "Yeah, great, thanks."
If someone were to give me a Zenith, I'll be his/her best friend for life!

Some wise men once said: "Simplicity is the best". Your new watch is a case in point.

Nice watch, but the 'orange' strip is a little too much for the watch...

One of the better Omegas in the market right now. Congrats on your acquisition!

Green with ENVY!!! I just love the whole Portuguese range...

Good pictures... NICE watch!!!

Black GMT II. Nice!

Nice watch! In tune with Hamilton's typical understated elegance. Congrats on your latest acquisition.

Personally, I'd prefer the wrist version...

BPW... Awesome!

Since you've gotten two Bentley already, Montbrillant Datora or Blackbird would get my vote.

There only three straps I think is worthy for the Panerai: black plastic, black leather (croc, calf, snake, lizard) and brown/tan leather (calf or croc).

Nice watch! This is one Omega for a long time that I can truly say it looks impressive.

I'd think in most people's books, myself included, the El Primero movement (and its derivatives) is the one movement to get in the Zenith range.

Often times, it is said that, "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder". While I won't disagree with such a statement, I would urge those who somehow think that Omega is a brand, in the world of series ...

Awesome! Beautiful time piece.

BIG iron!!

Actually there is an hour hand to show the 2nd time zone. But it can also be hidden under the normal hour hand if not in use. Here comes another article showing the 2nd hour hand:

Nice looking weather station.

I'm not all that familiar with all the Panerai models, so I'm probably talking complete rubbish. However, the watch says "GMT", so how's the 2nd time zone being displayed?

The question is: should we buy watch because it will make money in future? If yes, we are an investor but not a watch fans. Watch is only a tool for you to maintain or expand your money value.

No ...

You're going to hate me for saying this: but I'm not convinced about the Defy. For me, it's a 'fashion' watch. Doesn't really add anything to the name of Zenith aside from having a 'fashionable' model ...

I'm in two minds... but if the opportunity presents itself and pricing is agreeable - 16600.

Wow!!! I've seen many GMT II, but I've to say that one of the best looking one I've ever seen. Great acquisition!

Congrats on the arrival of your child. Also, nice watch! This has to be one of the nicer looking Panerai in their range.

MidoFreak: Just how many Midos do you own??

Over-priced, gadget watch...

Look at those beautiful and clean lines of the watch. Nomos watches are designed with such simplicity that you just have to love them. Nice!

This is actually the Grande ChronoMaster Open El Primero. It is an improved version of the existing model. The new version adds the date function which the previous models lacked.
