Zenith, so I can get the IWC.

Not really, you know how I feel. I want the iw389001 if the money and availability every coincide. I seem to be the minority on this one.

The IWC is pretty unremarkable

This hits it on the head. When i look at the IWC, i don't feel anything really. When i see the Zenith, it makes my pants tight.

On looks alone, my choice would be the Zenith and having no date window would be a bonus for me.

Zenith no doubt. Don't even know why you are asking
You have a nicer IWC Chrono already

Voting is over? :)


I agree w Paul, 30min chrono is really dumb, but I understand the heritage aspect of it. The newer Sinn's with a 30min chrono... GTFO. But, the zenith also has a bezel which makes it possible to track time in that manner

Personally, that IWC is hot, and I love the 60min chrono. That would be my vote.

But you already have an IWC chrono, so if I was big, hairy wristed Russian named Art, I would go zenith.

Hopefully they've moved on from +/- 2 minutes per day accuracy and an indifferent shrug.

I say Zenith I got a thing for bund style sweep hands plus every tom dick and harry have IWC you will have some thing different than every body else. Try them both on at the store and don't give a shit what we say and go with your gut.

Looks good. I tried it on when it was first released and the squinty subdials didn't bother me in person as much as it does in photos.

Yeah Speedy squinty subdials definitely bother me in person but Zenith I didn't even notice , they're perfectly centered between the numerals and the axis.

If the polls are still open... Zenith. Though I'd probably vote for your existing IWC chrono over both.

Typical odd comment from me; not as impressed with the Zenith on the wrist.
