Hi everyone I must eat my words and say that I dont after all like the open heart version
I also prefer the white faced version with day date depending on price will it be still around the 300
pound mark or silly money like people have said before on the forum if so a date only would suffice
you have to understand that the first thing I liked about CW was value for money and after buying my c15
appreciated it more hence getting my c8 also .
But as some have said the day date version would cost more than the usual price range a CW customer
usually pays and that would count me out as I am just a normal working man with a wife and kids and not
with alot of cash to splash.
But I would love to get my hands on the LE so I will just have to wait and see.

helium release valve anyone??

Oh, go on then!! :D :lol:

I use the chronograph on mine occasionally for timing stuff on court...........but have to say the tachymeter doesn't get a whole lot of use!! lol :löl:

I think the day/date bit looks ok, but as some have said, if using this mov't takes the price out of the usual CW price range, then will people be willing to pay???

Day date option would do it for me.

Have to confess... I saw an open heart Zenith at Bicester Village last week and, err.... I kinda liked it! They come across better in real life than they do on your screen (no offence to Tooks' great mock-ups, I just mean in general!).

Chris, some do, definitely, but it has to be done well or all you see is a metal plate and a few teeth from the date wheel!
