I think that's due to white as much as enamel. Looks great though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's due to white as much as enamel. Looks great though! It definitely does reflect. Not enough to bug you, but the effect is there for sure vs other dials that dampen or diffuse more. The colour does make it less pronounced, and adds depth and variety based on lighting conditions as well. Pics of the Omega? Such great watches.

Popular Post Cayman17 Posted April 25 Popular Post Share Posted April 25 Picked up a Zenith Chronomaster Open 39.5 mm with steel bracelet yesterday in a duty free jewelry store. This slightly smaller open heart model was reintroduced in 2023, I believe. It has a power reserve and wears a lot like a Rolex GMT, in my opinion. The bracelet looks like an oyster but with a slight taper to the links. I’ve always wanted a Zenith so I went for it. Got a pretty good deal from an authorized dealer, so I’m happy. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the white numbers near the nine printed on glass on the dial or the backside of the crystal? Neat watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the numbers are printed on a separate piece of hesalite located under the crystal. That is actually the regular seconds counter. The large slim hand that looks like the second hand is actually a sweep hand that moves at 1/10 of a second when activated. I’m really enjoying this purchase. Thanks for the kind words! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, the 60 second dial at 9 is a piece of hesalite with the printing. Here you can see it more clearly. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really nice complication the 1/10. Not easy to engineer elegantly and uses a great deal of energy to run.

El Hoze Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Not mine, most certainly! Have never crossed paths with a Greubel Forsey before. I didn’t have the nerve to ask my friend what this thing costs. Not my cup of tea, even if I had alot more money! Figured I would post for the watch geeks here as you don’t see these in the wild often (at least in the circles I run in!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few buddies with Richard Mille’s and I’m in same boat. Not for me. My hunch is it’s basically a show of wealth regardless of what they say! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find them a bit hard to look at l, just like MB&F, not for me. Ever. Richard Mille on the other hand are amazing from an engineering and haute horological perspective. Unbelievable how much technology and advancement he’s brought to watch making. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
