So, part interest, part showing off the new Zenith Tipo CP-2 that's just landed! I know the Cairelli re-issue has been popular on here, but as it's officially the same size as the SD43 which has sparked much debate on size - unlike the Zenith.
Anyway, I think it's a nice pair...though I've been 'encouraged' to advertise my BB ETA to make way for the new arrival!

Oh, come on! Anyone show me how to rotate this image??

They look similar except for the slightly squarish lugs of the SD43.
Tipo CP 2 looks fabulous.
That makes a great pair.
Cheers, I've loved that Cairelli re-issue since I saw Endo's at the Edinburgh GTG. He had a great thread on here at time!
It's amazing. Got me fired up like the 50th Anniversary Speedy I used to have with the stark contrast between the lume/white and the absolute black.
I've started looking at orignal Cairellis, but there was also a Ltd Ed of 50 CP-2 re-issue for Purist Pro that replaced Automatic on the face with Cronometro and a green NATO!
The slimmer bezel makes the Zenith a far more beautiful watch aesthetically I think. Of course the Rolex is much "toolier" and it's looks suit it. They complement each other nicely

That Zenith is lovely, if it had a date at 6 o'clock it would be a perfect chronograph, although others will disagree.
I'm OK with no date, look at the controversy around the SD43's date bubble. Much as I hate the cyclops, I can't see the date without it so it'd be useless on the Zenith for me!
Cheers for sorting that, I couldn't figure it out on Tinypic.Nice watches
Well, they are both great watches. Nice to see the comparison between the two. It does show that on-paper dimensions may not give a true representation of the actual watch.
Nice pair!!
