Watches - another OCD problem

vibranium perhaps??? light and strong.

Steel is still the best case material, all things considered. Although I must admit, I've grown to like titanium watches, too. I used to really enjoy wearing a hefty watch, but after wearing a titanium one for a while, the lightness is a refreshing change of pace. The difference in wearability between a titanium and a steel bracelet can be especially dramatic.

The best case material is obviously depleted uranium, because it proves your manliness.
Hublot are building a Big Bang out of it! :o

Did you guys see Zenith is going to start using outsourced movements in their low end watches?
I thought they had done this before? Maybe not, but I'm not surprised. Don't expect the price to reflect the different movement though.

In my opinion, that's less of an issue than Zenith's ugly designs. The company's only real draw is, and has always been, the El Primero movement. As long as they keep making that, they'll continue to survive. But unless they can create some appealing long term models, like the Daytona, Speedmaster Professional, Navitimer, etc., they're never going to thrive.
Now if the move to outsourced movements means that they're going downscale and intend to compete in a more affordable category, this might have a chance of working out for them.
-
Well I think they are trying to move past the fashion phase that one of the former CEOs pushed for. They are making more conservative and handsome watched like the Primero chono 1969. I have owned a Zenith dress watch in the past and it was a decent mid tiered piece. Manufacture manual movement, gold hands, guilloche, but not the same level finish as the big dogs IMO.

My buddy Jordan who owns Silver Lining Opticians in Soho is friends with the guy from Hodinkee. They filmed some Rolex Daytonas in his shop. Pretty nice video.

I've owned one in the past and it's a great, undervalued watch.
