Got myself a dress watch!-) I have wanted one for a long time, but I also know I'm not going wear one that much. So always something else has gotten ahead of this kind of purchase. The price was of course a consideration, I'm just not up to Patek levels. I've tried a JLC Master Control in the past, but at that time they were 40mm in size and just way too large for my slim wrists. I also looked at the earlier 37mm versions, which are really nice, but many used examples were not in great shape. I also ended up checking the different Zentith's as well, ultrathins and Elite models and that's where I went.
So, here is mine - Zenith Elite Hand Wound Reserve de Marche, quite a mouthful but I like it! It's a dress watch at 37mm and 7mm slim, just the right size, and from a distance it looks like a simple white dial dress watch. On a closer look there is a lot going: guilloche dial, small seconds, reserve de marche, date window at 4:30. It's interesting to look at.
I like the Zenith Elite movements, they are slim, accurate and durable. I have one in my Panerai, the automatic 680. The movement on this one is the elite 655, it has a lound tick and smooth manual winding. It's now on a custom made alligator strap with a Zenith star logo pin and buckle clasp.
