Ha! great timing. Really gives that picture some narration.
That watch looks great.

I'll wait for the Invicta and/or Chinese knock offs.

Got my Seiko Turtle today in the mail. Really like it so far in the 20 minutes I've played with it. Currently using a basic black NATO, but the bracelet it came with is fairly nice too.

I was out shopping with the fam at our local nice mall (South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa) that happens to have a ton of high end watch boutiques.
I pop my head in the Omega boutique and they had the new Speedy Pro on display (arrived earlier in the week) and I tried it on. Omega redesigned the lugs so it curved around my wrist better than the old one and overall sat well for a 41mm case. Dammit, it's now on my radar again for a Chronograph |

I am just going to say this before anyone else....
The new Zenith Sport Chrono is NOT a homage to the Daytona. The Dayton exists because of the Zenith El Primero. No Zenith = no Daytona. Something can’t be an homage if it came first. |

Kind of similar to how a lot of ppl sneer at Hydrox cookies for being a 2nd rate Oreo imitation, when in fact Hydrox came out first.

I totally agree with you. I suspect the typical Rolex fanboi isn't aware that the Daytona had a Zenith movement back in the day. While I like the Zenith Sport Chrono a lot especially the white dial variant, I wished it looked more unique.

I thought the Daytona started with a hand-wound Valjoux movement? Like, Newman-era Daytona.
Or do those not count as a "Daytona" in the modern lineage? |

Rolex used the Zenith movement in the Daytona from 1988 until 2000. Rolex released the auto Daytona in 1988, prior to that is was a manual wind I think.

FB ad, but intriguing and there are some low sale prices if you look around.
https://www.aragonwatch.com/DF_Series_s/503.htm Some decent lume options and Tritium. |

I am just here to say the new El Primero Sport Chrono is amazing and I want one in the worst possible way. But cannot handle a 10k dollar watch. The thought of that just make me a tad nauseous

1. rmbrady, enjoy that turtle. I really like mine, considering another.
2. I've been seeing that new Zenith pop up on all my social medias. It's working, I want one, or an el primero. Maybe that will be my next grail? I haven't purchased a watch in MONTHS 3. I've also found myself thinking about that Seiko 5 Ryu. Yes it's a bit cheesy. Yes I am a man-child. If it was $100 less expensive I'd probably have one by now. |

Once it's available, I'm sure you will be able to find one for a decent discount. I bought my moonphase El Primero with a hefty 40% off discount from Jomashop, granted it was grey market not an AD. Then again, it will still be expensive even with a discount, just not Rolex daytona expensive.
