Zenith chronometro Tipo CP 2 a bit special
Thanks to the black Friday thread I was able to purchase this at a good price,I knew one day I would buy one.
It cost much less than a secondhand one,it won’t be appearing on eBay or anywhere else for that matter for a quick profit,It’s staying with me.
It arrived at 13.00 I took of the beautiful signed deployant and put on a 18mm buckle, the strap tapers down nicely.
I then insured it on my home insurance for the full replacement value which cost me £17.
It had arrived well packed the box is compact but heavy,everything was included warranty,hang tag and manual.
Then I rushed over to London for a meal with family and friends wearing the watch with no worries.
At the restaurant I talked to the manager who was expecting us,he was sporting a BLNR purchased years ago.
It already feels like an old friend,just some quick snaps on the move.
Sunset over Hammersmith bridge was beautiful,no I didn’t go to the Steve Hacket gig at the Apollo.

My wrists are sub 7inch and the zenith just about works for me. For reference, I find the black bay 41s too large but this might be because of thickness? I also find the 42mm el Primero too big because of its quite long, straight lugs.
The cp-2 is slim and light so it wears well for its size.
It's not a watch I would buy as my only watch, but that's hardly an issue!! Probably worth finding one to try on at least [emoji106]

Looks to wear large, bigger than the polar Explorer - maybe the thickness. Andy’s if anything looks slimmer, but maybe the angle.
Nice looking watch though, good pick up.
