Very nice mate. You didn’t have a long wait. !Got the call yesterday.
I think it was about a 4 month wait with the AD.

Looks great. On my wish list too.
Congratulations.
A very unexpected call from the local AD, had to give up on the purchase abstinence...

Always wanted one of these when they were first announced but found they'd all been spoken for beforehand. Arrived this morning and immediately resized with one of the additional links. Quite pleased.
This one arrived last week. But only managed to size the bracelet yesterday.
And yes, it still has the stickers on

Very nice, what size is that one and what size is your wrist? Just as a reference.

Double Damasko day!
Due to today’s delivery I can join in with the Doubles this evening:
It's just a matter of time...
My DA47 gets a lot of wear, such a good casual watch and nice to see it on the bracelet. How does the bracelet feel to you? I always imagined I'd want one but the odd story of rust/rubbing has put me off, though I don't know if Damasko have made any improvements (or acknowledged there was an issue to be improved). The hardened steel and the bezel action are superb.
Lovely, I’m currently trying to decide between DS30 or DA37 (if that’s the full lume one, no bezel, day date - I’m not good on model refs) then it’s the chronomaster/Jura decision!Double Damasko day!

I love these. I think they are still the best looking modern ‘dress diver’ (posh / smart divers watch) on the market. Modern but with a retro twist. I very rarely wear mine but when I do I remember how much I like it. I love the texture of the dials and the sunken lume plots. The moment is a looker as well. I should imagine the ti version is a cracker.Due to today’s delivery I can join in with the Doubles this evening:
I wasn’t aware of that but will certainly keep my eye out! My initial thoughts are the bracelet is very comfortable, well built. The clasp is a bit of a bugger though!

It’s the full lume DA35. Both great choices you are looking at though!
Cheers Gav, I'm sure yours will be fine and I nearly picked up a DC67 on bracelet a few months back but thought about it for too long. Great vfm.

The resident G-Shock has changed back to a full-fat Mudmaster. Love this beast.
A lovely catch!
so far so good - mini-micro review here:
Fit 8/10 -
super comfy fits like a glove and no hair pulling. Perfect size for me. For a sport watch with complications the 13mm height is acceptable especially combined with the downward sloping short lugs. Extra point knocked off for non-tool adjusted clasp. But it’s not too difficult to adjust with a paper-clip etc.
Finish 9/10 -
subdials are quite something and finish top marks
Movement 9/10 -
lovely movement and 60 power reserve with the El Primero improved movement Cal: 3600 - what’s not to like.
Precision 10/10 -
for a mechanical Zenith is only one of few do the 1/10th (and 1/100th sec) chronographs
Accuracy unknown -
within COSC on my timograph - not had it enough time to measure on the wrist - not sure if there is a “burn in” period for a brand new movement these days.
Value 7/10 -
it’s is a super watch but in reality I see this being added to other Zenith in a couple years in the sales. I could be wrong of course - this maybe the game changer for the brand - but if you look beyond the ceramic bezel it is mostly like another Chronomaster Zenith but with a tweaked 3400B movement.
Overall 9/10 it’s a “buy” from me.

468 days after putting up a WTB my prayers were answered - trit dial 14270, it was worth the wait. Condition is immaculate, box and papers and a really pleasant deal to go with. The size is perfect for my 6.75 wrists, dial is crisp and clean, what's not to like. The trit collection is starting to progress, this now joining a Root Bear and Pepsi, next on the list is a trit dial Polar and Sub ND.
unreal - glad it's stayed on the forum, looks superb!
Wasn’t as nice as that when I got it though:.......

Well I’ve had to wait about 5-6 weeks since I bought this one for it to finally arrive, and I’m really pleased so far. Super legible - which is probably going to be a a main factor in my watch purchases over the next 30 years...
It's just a matter of time...

Love the simplicity of the smooth bezel DJ. One really could be my only watch.
It's just a matter of time...
Hi Ben
The DJ is 36mm and my wrist size is 6 ¾ inches.
Best size and configuration, proportionately pleasing on the eye both in watch size and for your wrist.
Cheers,
Ben

Have often thought along the same lines myself. Only problem would be - which colour to choose!
