so I got rid of a couple of Zodiacs but then had an impulse buy when I wasn't even loking at buying a new Zodiac or even a watch... just kinda stumbled upon this one and the price was really affordable. I just fell in love with it at first sight:) so I pulled the trigger.
Nothing fancy I know and it's a Quartzy but the racing dial "a la" Shelby just appealded to me, go figure... WIS disease!
Great color mix, that silver and blue are a real nice combo and the fairly subtle use of red on the Chrono second hand, subdials and date surround add an extra nice touch to the cool textured dial IMHO.
The case was also a factor, I love that squarish kinda lug-less look with the cool bracelet going right into the case, just like the V-Wolf. Clasp is solid, well made bracelet overall. I think they did a great job with the hands too, fairly unique (not sure what this style is called) and I like the red logo at the center end of the chrono second hand.
The Blue Tachymeter coin edge bezel did not hurt either. I think I like this one more than my V-Wolf, which I really liked.. but the domed shapire bugs me on it. This one has a flat crystal more to my liking on this watch. So don't be surprised if you see a Blue V-Wolf up for sale soon
Chrono seems to operate smoothly and resets accurately. Caseback is cool, nothing extravagent but ok. Overall it is a real nice watch and quality is amazing IMHO at this price point. Just the bracelets on this one and the V-Wolf are worth the $. I have seen the red V8 model and it rocks too, I wouldn't mind owning both:) Well enough writing, I don't want to bore you. Here are a few Q&Ds I took at my desk after sizing it.
Cheers and thanks for reading!
