Zenith El Primero Foudroyante Chronograph 1/1O Second Watch
The first new Zenith watch of 2010 that I saw bored me to sleep at night. It wasn't a bad watch, but it just didn't do anything for me except remind of all the other watches that look like it. Now I learn about another new for 2010 timepiece that I actually do like (though it is not very practical). It isn't the neatest watch in the world, but it does take a very uncommon complication and places it into 1970s retro sport watch (why? Don't ask whyWhat? You know better than the Swiss?). Jaeger-LeCoultre released a watch with the same complication this year, but in a more classy traditional style watch. The complication is a foudroyante, and Zenith is specially equipped to make one. A foudroyante (also known as a "jumping seconds" watch) is a watch with a chronograph that is able to measure fractions of a second, done via a dedicated dial.

Should I have it regulated or not?
As most of you will know,through my previous thread, thanks to Brian and his relationship with his AD, I was able to buy a 5167A.Whenever I buy a watch, I normally check the daily accuracy rate to check that it falls within the Brands (not necessary Patek Philippe) specification. If it does then I tend to forget it.The 5167A is no exception, and i set it 5 days ago. To date it has lost 28 seconds, which is about 5.4 seconds per day.Now, I have had the pleasure of owning a number of Patek watches and so I know that this is not the norm.In the Old un days, on seeing a thread like this, you would advise the owner of their new (not pre owned) watch to give it a couple of weeks for the movement to bed in as well as allowing it to become accustomed to how you wear it.Is that still the case?Or should I get it regulated?Just to clarify I am not seeking perfection, we all recognise and appreciate that these are mechanical movements and some tolerance has to be allowed.But I would like it to be

Ta-da!
Tonight I cut the plastic and set her free!...
