Very nice!
I remember voting for this one. Stunning.
I am fooling around with straps for my broad arrow. Thoughts on the contrast stitching? Alternatives? Just bored with the bracelet.

Brown w racing holes? Raptor? bund? carbon fiber? Nato? Black leather is nice, but brown is surprisingly awesome.

I think that zenith would look great on a brown strap bhall41

Can't kill da rooster - Lovely broad arrow ! - Re the strap question, one of the combinations I find works well with strap is match strap to dial colour and stitch to indices colour (or off-white) instead of silver. Maybe something with a finer edge stitching in this case too.

Love it! I have been waiting to see this ever since you said you bought it. The wait musta been excruciating, but you need still need to show us the beautiful caseback!


Cheers. Yep the wait was pretty bad. The watch was (at my request) shipped by USPS but was held up and ended up being returned to the seller. That took close to a month! The watch was ultimately shipped via Fedex. See caseback photo below - not the world;s best photo sorry. I will post some more shots when I get a new strap.

Congrats Bhall lovely watch and great to see Zenith return to their roots - the engine that powered some classics! 



Love this. Most excellent.
Now get a navy padded croc strap with contrast stitching to match! HLow here on SF can do a great quality strap for a good price, unlike those ripoff Leffot* cordovan straps...
(*: yes, $140 for a simple strip of cordovan, when you can get an entire bloody shoe from Alden for $400)


Agreed. I will check out HLow's straps. Thanks for the heads up.

Cylon, based on past posts/pics I was thinking this as well.

Never really thought of it this way. Think I will try a couple out next week.

Some Panerai love up in here! Love it.

Borrowed a friend's PO for a few days. It's been a couple of years since I had one of these. I must say, the watch is money, and compares very favorably to my 16600 (not that I'd trade the 16600 for it or anything though).
