Oh NICE one Strutn !!!! Very Happy ..Definitely a watch to love everything about in my opinion,
and it's DEFINITELY a 10 also ! Smile All of your specifications, along with pictures honestly
prove this. It's REALLY something sir. Congratulations on adding yet another AWESOME
watch to your collection ! ..By the way, the whole Zinex, becoming Zixen theme is really
very cool because it kind of makes this particulat Nitrox a collectors/vintage watch when
you stop, and think about it. I mean even though this watch isn't that old, the fact that
it has "Zinex" on the dial makes things a little more interesting, as well as fun. Genuinely
looks just fantastic seeing the two side by side like this TOO ! ..Like most watches it's
hard trying to figure which part to start with first. Think this time we'll start with the dial
though. It just has a VERY noticeable energy about it, while at the very same time has
a classic nod to vintage dive watches of the past. Zinex (Zixen) Nitrox Oceanic  803574 ..The classic parts might include the
extremely NICE blue dial, triangle marker, and markings in general. While the noticeable
energetic parts would include the wild colors, along with hand style of this one. You just can't
get any better with the way the different styles come together on your Nitrox. There is that
super smooth tool diver feel, mixed with cool, and classic elements. ..It's basically like a
SUPERCHARGED classic in my opinion ! Zinex (Zixen) Nitrox Oceanic  933578 The way Zixen, or then Zinex does things when
it comes to designing, as well as building their watches is quite impressive. They just seem
to be focused on giving you the maximum amount of watch that they can, and between
the GREAT looks, and quality of watches like this one here, it's really AMAZING. For example,
just as the dial grabs your attention, so does the bezel here. You also get dual styles, along
with looks with it as well. It's very wide first of all, which is great, and it also has two eye
catching separate sections which genuinely add to the feel of the watch. The outer section
with it's slightly angled stance, as well as teeth add a classy, yet BOLD theme. However, the
blue secton on the inner part of the bezel is EXTRA sporty. Just the tone of the blue is nice
enough in my opinion. Nevertheless, it REALLY shows off the attractive numbers, as well as
markers also. Can genuinely appreciate every nook, and cranny, along with every feature
like the triangle marker which plays off of the one on the dial. Or the fact that the blue on the
bezel, AND dial working together, make the dial seem even MORE impressive ! ..It's just a
an outstanding look all the way around sir. Zinex (Zixen) Nitrox Oceanic  46145 You can genuinely see the way this watch
flows together at every point, almost as if it was one solid piece of steel. Even the case-shape,
along with the way it connects to the bracelet is beautiful. On top of that, there seems to be
a real connection between the bezel edge, bracelet links, and even CROWN with all of the
notches in all of them. It's pretty GREAT ! ..Same thing goes for the fiery dual lume on both
the bezel, along with dial. You can't help but be drawn in, as well as impressed by it. Then
again, you can't help but impressed by the watch as a whole. From the dial, and bezel, to
this lume, and TOP NOTCH movement you mentioned. ..This SUPERCHARGED Zinex does
it ALL ! ..Congratulations on adding it to your collection, and I know you will be enjoying it !

Super watch, as well as pictures !

Congrats! That's the one that made me hot for Zinex (at the time). Finally found one and after some time (and bezel/strap swaps) managed to get it to look the way I wanted.
