Well done and heartiest congratulations, Graham!

I know you are a movement junkie - and the Zenith movement - so rare in Rollies and so spectacular in the Zeniths themselves, is just wonderful. I would youtube a short film of the gliding second hand, good sir. The closest I have seen is the glide on the f300Hz quartz Omega Seamaster - it is fair dinkum mesmerising!

I'm not a fan of the Zenith Defy range - so your El Primero is probably the nicest I have seen. The whole concept of the thing is just wonderful. Trapezoidal date window, screwed chrono pushers, subtle colour variation on the sub-dials, great-looking polished/brushed finish on the bracelet which picks up the polished lugs - there is NOTHING about this one to dislike.

Kudos, Graham - that is an absolute marvel, and a beautiful addition to your special collection!
