Zenith Mega Port Royal Tourbillon Watch: Expensive Answer To Question No One Asked
Say, why don't they have a jumbo sized square tourbillon watch with cage bars on the crystal? Oh, well Zenith does, and this odd homage to goth time-telling befuddles my sense of association. On the one hand, you have the underpinnings of a high-quality Zenith Port Royal watch. This handsome tank watch is a modern interpretation of the classic rectangular watch look. On the other handyou have a black titanium cage.Do you recall the 1980's when those rubber watch protectors were popular? You know, on Swatch watches and others. Yea, wasn't that cool? Little rubber straps that curled over the face of the watch (only partially obstructing the view) that came in tons of (neon) colors. I sure was styling back then, I even wore several of them on my wrist at once!Well the point of protecting the crystal of watch apparently has been lost, until now, when Zenith reintroduced the cage look. So the perception of watch protection is back, and in a big (and ugly) way. Look at those ridiculous bars

Caught a nasty bug!!!
Been drooling over ALS 1815 chronograph blk dial just released in June. See link below from HODINKEE. What a stunning piece with probably the best movement ever made, dial to die for and the openwork back case literally made me fall off my chair. Earlier this year, I acquired 15400ST + 26400IO and thinking to let 1 go...very very tough decision as I love both. Also thinking to release 2 Pams (which I've worn only 5x) to own this holy grail. What do you think?https://.hodinkee/articles/a-...ith-black-dial

Repair 1972 Omega Constellation
Will replacement of the hands and face of this watch reduce its value? Rusted hands and face with deteriorated tritium markers.
