I quick incoming thread...

It's happened with three of the four that I've owned, the only exception being the white gold Zenith that I stupidly sold a couple of years ago (and that's another story, albeit not a particularly interesting one for anybody but me).So, I decided that I'd have to move the latest one on, and then started to think about what white-dialled chrono I could replace it with.
