Does anyone have experience / thoughts regarding owning a Zenith El Primero Big Blue / TV (ref. 01.0200.415)? I've never worn one of these, but I'm drawn to the 70's style, and I've always wanted an El Primero movement. I always pass on them though, mainly because of the wide bracelet and concern that it will be too much metal on the wrist. I have a fume Silverstone that I enjoy (on a strap for now)...think I would enjoy a Big Blue as well?
Any thoughts on ownership experience / collectibility would be much appreciated. I've read all the forum posts I could find by Lou S and others, but looking for specific feedback on the Big Blue.
I'm not looking to buy this exact watch, but one similar with the same NSA style bracelet:

Thanks all,
