But you could buy 12-15 of the one on the left for the price of the one on the right.

The bracelet on the Rolex is actually a Zeno bracelet, still haven't found a 20mm original for the Rolex. :(

It is incredible the zeno,s today,s tendency to "inspire" on other,s brands models. By the way where did you find the zeno? je je.

**Dave E** · 9th June 2006, 16:45

That really is so very, very pretty...

**chrisb** · 9th June 2006, 16:59

I may be wearing mine for some time, I didn't realise how "right" these Explorer size watches are 8)

. . . and if the one on the left said "ZENO-USA", you could buy about 50 more :wink:

cheers,

**KCampbell** · 9th June 2006, 18:03

Ah yes, but the one on the left has a wonky 6 :D

Now we need a Precista version. Hopefully a version that doesn't use those stupid Mercedes hands.

I'm not a lover of Mercedes hands but I think the Explorer is one of the very few watches on which they work.

Absolutely.

Steady on there Eddie, Foggy will be after you... :lol:
I once dared to suggest much the same and look what happened. :D

**MikeB** · 9th June 2006, 19:52

I diddn't use to like the Mercedes hands until I got this Zeno, and then a Nettuno 3 - nice watch!

I don't know whence this Mercedes lark ... the true term for the hands is 'stick and ball' ...

... as in golf. :lol:

Those hands work in the same sense as laminating your tallywhacker will work as contraception.

There are less painfull alternatives.

Agreed. The Zeno needs longer hands, though ... perhaps a set of Yao hands to go with the Zeno dial?

I have caught myself thinking that I could use another Zeno Explorer beside my Zegarek Zubrow ... the size and comfortability are phantastic. :D

Welcome to the forum, and to Timefactors.com.

There's a connection. :D

**inspector gadget** · 9th June 2006, 23:06

Mercedes hands, screwdown crown, hacking auto Alpha 21 :shock: quid inc P&P far east...

**doug darter** · 9th June 2006, 23:06

Here's a pic of my 'restored' Explorer 1.

Bet it didn't cost as much as yours Eddie??

**swanbourne** · 10th June 2006, 12:54

I daren't tell you what it cost me Doug but it wasn't a lot.

Eddie

**doug darter** · 10th June 2006, 13:10

IIRC, mine was only £800 incl the redial. It's still in my favourite top 3.

**mr1973** · 12th June 2006, 08:14

One of my top 5 watches as well... would never let it go for 15 zeno´s (actually not even for 150) :P.
My first watch was a nice 1016. I still could cry that i´ve sold it back in the 80s (vintage watches werent that popular back in these days...)

Would a Yao-dial fit into a Zeno Explorer?

I had some discussions with Martin (Crusader) on the Zeno forum about this, yes a Yao dial should fit the ZEX case.

**boxbrownie** · 12th June 2006, 11:35

I'm not a great fan of Rolex......although I do own one :roll: but the Zeno could really do with slightly longer hands (I should say bigger really) it really grates when the minute hand does not reach the register....

Best regards David

Great thread :lol:

Hope it's still going in a few weeks.
