Zenith El Primero

**TA-DA!**. The El Primero is already awesome, but the 18k gold makes it that much more *awesome-er*. I really enjoy the subtle changes on the gold version from the steel such as the different colored subdials, the gold chrono second hand over the red one, etc.

It wears beautifully on my small wrist (about 6.75 in). Everything is as advertised and more. I was comparing this with the new Speedy - which by the way wears much better than the previous generation - but ultimately ended up with the Zenith. The El Primero was really the first chrono I fell in love with over 10 years ago, I could not be more happy to finally have it!.

The Zenith El Primero 1969 was the watch of choice. I could not be more proud of myself as I stare down and see what I have accomplished. Hard work really does pay off!. It's such a versatile and classic looking watch that it goes with every clothing style!

Of all watches I have owned, this watch receives the most compliments by far, especially by non-watch people. To me that is a true unbiased look that is not influenced by the watch community. To me this is one of the best looking Chronographs ever designed. Other that are up there are Rolex Daytona (multiple times), Zenith El Primero and the Speedmaster.

True, Daytona is totally overrated. There are tons of other luxury chronographs that are literally cheaper, more accurate and have almost the same quality.

Just like your Zenith El Primero. Nice choice!

I have a pretty respectable watch collection and my Zenith El Primero is hands down my favorite piece. You have good taste! Enjoy it-you will never regret that purchase, not for a milisecond.

Both were fantastic watches and I eventually went with the EP because of how beautiful it looked when the light reflected off the indices. The EP popped and caught my attention and, like my S2000's 9k redline, it beats at a staggering 36,000VPH. Both are amazing watches but the EP stole my heart. Though I know the "investment" aspect is not there for the EP compared to speedmaster..

The most expensive thing in this picture is probably the hand sanitizer at this point!

Great purchase, the El Primero is a classic for a reason.

Seiko flightmaster quartz. Bought this one with the superior 10ish years ago. Zenith el primero "pilot" (which also has some pretty cool history) bought this one when I graduated from pilot training. Seiko superior with slide rule, bought this when I was just getting into watches like 10 years ago.

I almost never wore it, because most of the times I preferred another watch and I also really disliked the "tinkling" sound, which I wasn't aware of before purchasing it. Although the watch is really comfortable to wear, and I really love the titanium bracelet. I really love the skeleton dial, so there's a big chance I'll go for another skeleton dial in the future. Maybe the Zenith El Primero?
