A lovely collection overall. I think the vintage Zenith works best for me. :thumbup:

I have always been a big fan of the C3s. While I am not into vintage that much the streel/black Universal Geneve stands out as it is not gold/white.

Cracking collection. :thumbup: The vintage Zenith works best for me too. As for the cheap quartz, brilliant. :lol:

Strange the Zenith is the one I have not gelled with and actually have it up for sale.
Several people have said they like it but don't know what it is about it but can not get on with it.

Thanks to everyone for their nice comments.

Kevin

Position of the date window? I'm guessing unusual on a vintage watch.

Top notch collection there Kevin with a great blend of vintage and modern (four of which I claim responsibility for as being their previous owner!).

Interesting to note that you've only got a couple of divers, which is surely well below the forum average.
