And the Winner Is ? ? ?
In Response To: The Visual Competition ()


I know that it's a long-running debate (approx. 36 years), but which is your winner?

I'll vote for Heuer, in the visual / design category . . . Autavia, Carrera, Daytona, Cortina, Monaco, etc. top the range of Zeniths, to my eye.

Most would favor the El Primero in the movement category, but I have actually had better luck with the Cal 12's. My experience base may be a bit skewed -- numerous Heuers with no problems at all; one Zenith that spent its first two years with watchmakers, very little time on my wrist.

Thanks for the comparison photos.
