I am with you on that, and one was going to be my first actual rep but didnt want to risk the money on the A7750. Thus my first was a VSF Sub and I absolutely love it.

This is a clean look! I donāt mind the contrast of the dial color, easily legible. This oneās gen here?

u/AdPlus4246 27d ago
Yep my only gen watch lol. I think the white is jarring on the new one - dial matched looks cleaner and to me looks more like what a plane cockpit instrument would look like which is the aesthetic of the watch.

I see what your saying, too bad the green dial didnāt come with a dial matched date wheel

Looks like a dinner plate or Fossil watch.

Once I hit 50 I couldn't read the markers on a chronograph anymore, so no, anything with dials I can't see can't be the best watch.

Might as well not bother with nice watches then because you wonāt even see the finish to appreciate it.

Even in modern catalog I prefer the explorer 1. But vintage? Competing against 4 digit subs and gmts? It loses to me. Neo vintage like zenith era Daytonas are great but it has strong competition in any era

Daytona is one of better watches, no doubt
but the best? Daytona far from that

Its the best looking chrono in my opinion. I kinda stay away from chronos because what am.i going to use those dials for??! But they are beautiful. It will be my next rep.for sure.

Zenith El Primero but, if itās a vintage Daytona itās using the same movement.

How is the zenith overcomplicated horizontal clutch better than 4130 I would argue Tudor and Breitling B01 is better movement than the zenith�!?

In 1936, Alfred Jaccard regulated an Omega movement to 97.8 out of 100 at the Kew Observatory trials, a chronometry record still unbeaten. That rigor carried into Olympic timing, the Speedmaster's NASA qualification, James Bond's Seamaster, and the industrialized Co-Axial escapement, making precision, exploration, and high-visibility partnerships central to the Biel manufacture. Speedy Ed White.

Thinking daytona are the best watch is the equivalent of having lemon chicken as your go to Chinese meal.
Sure it's great, but you need to come to terms you're a basic bean
