Still riding that Victorinox wave. Such a comfortable fit.

I picked this beauty up last Friday while visiting my family in California.

Zenith Defy Skyline Chronograph Skeleton which has their famous El Primero movement. The stainless steel case looks better in person than in the picture.

Most people don't realize how accurate their El Primero movement is.

Before the Skeleton model was released I was checking out the Defy Skyline Chronograph but I thought that the dial with the blue sunray pattern was a little too dark plus I didn't like where they put the date (which I really didn't care about) at 4:30.

When they released the Skeleton version of the chronograph, it was love at first sight and I knew I had to have it. I selected the blue dial over the black because the color explodes and IMHO is more attractive.

It is likely one of the most accurate movements out there for sure and all in house.

Complete contrast to one of the most hated brands by the watch community. Hublot. I don’t get it though, yes overpriced perhaps but one of the most premium feeling finish and material imo. Have a couple in collection cause I love their design language as well.

This tarnished angel has been from Gangzhou to Grimsby twice (and back) in two years. Not my best watch but the one I end up wearing.

They make high quality timepieces but IMHO when one looks at a Hublot you have either a "you love it or hate it" type of reaction due to their designs.

I assume there are a lot of stainless Subs, so I'm going a different direction. Benrus DTU 2A/P issued to my father in 1966 before he deployed to Vietnam. I have the original nylon strap, it cut those tracks in the steel on the reverse.

After a few months of ownership, I swapped out the bracelet on the Planet Ocean with the Seamaster Rubber strap.
