Have to agree ! Have been in awe of alot of
Zixen's watches over the last few years that's for
sure. The newer ones like this one here are kind
of going to another level with all of the vintage
styled cases. Those edges or angles on that steel
ring on the inner part of the bezel are very eye-
catching. Actually, the entire watch is extremely
eye-catching to be honest !

Hmmm...thought I was done with retros after my latest buys.
Looks much better than I thought it would - I had already dismissed it.
Gotta say a photo of a "real" watch beats the hell outta CAD renderings.

Also have to say $1500 is pretty steep.
Love the Zinex I have, but do think they are a bit inflated.
Perhaps you guys know better.

Meh...

I agree with Alan: that's an AWESOME watch!

Nice looking retro with contrasting squarish casing set against the round bezels. The red accent colors give a dash of pizzazz.....
Other than that, the movement specs and sapphire crystal etc can be found on other watches....
My Noah TSUNAMI has equal movement specs with the Seiko 6R15 (auto, handwinding, hacking). For half the price, the Noah watch includes optional colored dials, handsets. It comes with a 10 watch carrying case including tools to adjust links.
So, if one can get beyond cosmetic appeal, there are equal or better choices out there IMO.

A bit, just a bit

Good points Thian...

...good points indeed.

I like them a lot, but they remind me of some of Zodiacs past offerings, that's not good or bad, just sayin'

I can DEFINITELY see that too!

7 link bracelet is the new 5 link! wished these micro brands would do something a little different from the rest. Case is sweet but i've seen about three other brands this week with the same bracelet!

I would DEFINITELY put a mesh on it...

...or an OPEN LINK (like Formex uses) would be cool too.

Thanks for mentioning that Trevor. It seems that some give Zixen or Zinex a pass on the same thing they slam others for. It is a nice looking watch. The hands already have that aged patina look, but I'm not sure about the pink color choice. I recently saw Jaws Heliox Super Sub in person. Having only seen pictures prior, I was surprised how much I liked the watch seeing it live. The price may be a little high, so it will be interesting to see what they command on the sales forums.

OH BOY! Not only are CAD renditions deceiving but so are pictures. In any case, I love them both. NEED an "IN PERSON" look at these. The case back is rather flat looking and the height is GINORMOUS! It may sit on the wrist looking like a brick.
