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.

I have to agree these are pretty nice. Congratulations for getting one at a great price.
I love that watch. Sold mine a while ago and regretted straight away. Where did you get it at such a good price?

Absolutely love this watch
Prefer it on a tan strap. But some people don’t like black tan combo.

Looks great on you, glad it arrived in perfect condition and is being used as intended.
Once I insured it I was less worried about being mugged in London ,I would have just handed it over.
Though to be fair in winter with a jacket on it’s unlikely to be noticed and not as recognisable as a Rolex.
We are going to visit my younger brothers grave today so it’s bittersweet,I would give back everything I own to get him back.
A watch means nothing compared to life,though it helps to take my mind of the tragedy for a while at least.
Congratulations lovely watch favourite of my collection. Great pictures I see you have had a play with the bezel already.
Enjoy.

Good post.
The CP-2 performs an ergonomic masterclass. On paper, there's no way a 43mm watch with ~52 lug to lug would fit my wrist but the case lugs are so beautifully designed that it really works. I think I will look for the green canvas strap at some point to increase the versatility a smidge.
I do like my LE version. Understated, class movement.
Congratulations on your purchase - the OEM leather really sets it off.
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
Used to wear mine in the green strap, very casual. I will defo buy another.

Is that a Zenith strap,if so what’s it called?
Lovely looking watch and with that discount and 5 years interest free it really is silly value. I saw your post before where you said it made more sense to just do the finance and let the interest of your ISAs etc work smarter for you and I completely agree.
Beautiful watch. Sorry that there’s a bitter-sweet element to your post. Very sad but I know I’d love anyone I leave behind to have such a fantastic thing to wear.

The first time I read this sentence, I thought bloody hell you got that a lot cheaper than I remember it being! Congratulations on getting this one, I'm glad it went to someone on the forum. I was very, very tempted but really can't afford to be buying any more watches right now. Like you, this is on my list of watches I fully intend to own eventually. I just hope Zenith remain sufficiently under the radar that they stay somewhat attainable. It really is stunning.
All I got out of Black Friday was some MN-style straps for £6, which I suppose are kinda nice.
Yep, that's definitely going to make it harder to find one in the future. But I'm not too concerned about the small number in existence. These days so many watches are LEs produced in similarly sized batches. It doesn't mean nobody ever sells theirs. It just means they don't turn up on SC like buses.
Really like these and there have been a fair few on SC at a good price.
It wears slightly too big for me or I'd definitely have one-if i remember rightly the deployant clasp and strap was too big and would have required another hole punched.
I would say a 7.25" wrist required to do it justice.
wearing it in the winter sunshine today,its one decision I definitely got right.
I have fitted it on a Di-modell rallye but the jumbo is just as good.I just wish they tapered more I dont like wide straps anymore.

Stunning watch - but you should have gone to the gig as well...
Congrats.
Mine's the grey steel version.
Love it.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
nice, how does the flyback work I have never had one?
Seeing these makes me realise that I should have kept one of my Bulova Marine Star or Excelsior Park Monte Carlo.
Here they are together
Both use the same case design as the original and re-issue Zenith

thats a fine trio, love that Sinn.
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.
