Yowza, you guys are knocking it out of the park !!! Gary, when did you get that Zodiac? ..Awesome sir ! The grey dial, together with orange, and black is too good ! Really is the evolution of the ZMX-01 right there. Fantastic choice too today Bill ! The Supermarine seems like one of those watches that you appreciate more, and more every day. It's a modern day classic really. Man Darius, if there was ever a watch worthy of the name Zeus, this would have to be it don't you think? It's whole look, along with design is just out of this world. ____________________________________ | |

Tom, I just picked this one up at TJ Maxx (yep these are already heading to close out sale places) this is a ZMX-01 Chrono Zo-8537....I wore it yesterday as well on the factory rubber band, but fell asleep after a hard night at work before I could post up. I actually thought I did...I must have dreamed it!! Todays photo is an aftermarket sailcloth strap. Anyway here is a photo of it on the factory band...... ____________________________________ Later, GaryRemember we are the caretakers of mechanical art.....

Thank You Tom, I just purchased this a few days ago and have been wearing since yesterday afternoon. This Zeus is the top dog, at least in my head, because it is powered by a Swiss Made Dubois Depraz DD2030 Automatic w/ 50 Jewels. For this reason the watch is somewhat rare, there are a few can be found to purchase but I've only seen one other person that actually has it. Gary, that is a fantastic looking Zodiac, one of the best I have ever seen. Enjoy your new purchase. ____________________________________ | |

Congratulations guys ! Huge congratulations !!! Thought those two might be new. Boy Gary, that TJ Maxx is getting some great watches in. So neat that you could snag one of these, and at probably a way nicer price than is on the Zodiac site nowadays. Really am happy for you sir. This has all of the personality of the old ZMX-01, but with some extra cool thrown in for good measure here. The mix of phantom greys, blacks, and oranges in just beyond cool ! Think it looks extraordinary on both straps also ! The sailcloth is a perfect match, and the factory band rocks too honestly ! ..Hope you wear this as much as possible Gary, and enjoy it ! Darius, this is definitely top dog ! Can't believe everything that goes into this watch. What's amazing is the heart of the watch evidently matches the outside of the watch from what you're saying. I mean 50 jewels?! You never hear of that ! It's a worthy movement though for such a terrific looking watch though. Can imagine how awesome you must feel picking up such a rare piece. Now all that's left to do is to strap it to the wrist like you are doing, and enjoy ! Honestly seems like such a nice watch. One that will be difficult to put back in the watch box. ..Enjoy ! ____________________________________ | |

Darius, Thanks Man!! I am glad you like it. I know you like the larger watches and this one is big! 47 mm across the middle, not including crown. I like your Invicta as well, I am not up on their models anymore but that one is cool! Having the DD Auto is just icing on the cake. I had a Tag Heuer with a DD chronograph module in it but sold it. Good Stuff right there . ____________________________________ Later, GaryRemember we are the caretakers of mechanical art..... Member NAWCC, National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors | |
