Thread: Anyone getting the new Zinex?

    Anyone getting the new Zinex?

    This looks like wats everyone been raving about. Looks like a sm200 on a certina bezel. Love the contours of the case and the mesh looks good. But at 18mm and 1600$ a little too rich for me atm, and the dial seems blend. But it does have 2500wr and AM to boot, wat do u think?

    I've got the Nitrox, their first one, built like a tank, nice attention to detail, and runs like a dream -1 sec/a day.
    A perfect beater for me.
    This piece looks even more impressive.

    Cheers,

    Daddel.
    Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!

    Not into the mesh, I think it would look great on a rubber strap or a nato. Looks pretty nice for a diver, IMO.

    The case has very interesting shape. I liked the dial and the hands better on the first Trimix, though. This one has a retro design in the case and the bracelet and a modern design on the dial and the hands. I don't like the mixture in this particular watch.

    Its looks good, but like you say a bit pricey, I don't care if its 2000m, in that price bracket you could get a Sinn U2

    I really like the look of this and other Zinex models, especially with the mesh. The only thing I don't like is the shoulderless crown.

    When you wear your watch on the other side like me, that's no problem :)

    Got mine from a fellow forum member for 500,-GBP, and I reckon it's more than worth that :) .
