Thread: Zenith/Bamford/MrPorter exclusive

    Zenith/Bamford/MrPorter exclusive

    This is apparently exclusive to Mr Porter.

    https://www.mrporter.com/en-gb/mens/...-watch/1130743

    I love the colour, _but_ the sawtooth pattern of the sub-seconds markers is awful, and the one eyed imbalanced look they've gone for doesn't help, either. 38mm, too. My ideal watch size is 40mm, but this doesn't have much of a bezel, so it's probably fine, size wise.

    That is very lovely but too small for me, im a sucker for blue but at the right size.

    I think it looks pretty good actually, but too small for me. The asymmetry of the subdials is quirky. I would prefer the tricolour El Primero.

    Oh not for me. Too bright and the sawtooth sets my teeth on edge!

    Wink

    So now internet sellers are competing with physical boutiques in offering manufacturers special versions. Interesting.

    I like that, love the colour and the size along with the wonderful movement

    I like the "Sawtooth pattern" on this one. Doesn't look like an everyday piece, but nice to have in the collection.

    The sawtooth is a historic design point used in the A3817 in the 1970s. I like it.
    I think I mught have preferred some beefier H and M hands (maybe with some lume), but in general I think it is a lovely looking thing.
    It is not too much of a custimisation of the Zenith 960339 C805 Chronomaster

    Gets the thumbs up from me just a shame not in the market for another Zenith at the moment.

    I like it but I'd still prefer one of these:

    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    I like Zenith watches, lately not so much.

    I really like older Zeniths. It's odd they are not held in higher regard

    Surely that should be the Zenith Bumfordhole?

    Maybe more suited to the black-holed version:
