    Couldnt resist....

    Been mulling over a gold dress watch for ages and this zenith came up with another grand off on todays watchfinder sale, so £3.5k for a gold dress watch with an in house calibre and lovely simple elegance

    if its in decent nick ill keep it, if not it goes back,

    i never intended on spending that kind of money today

    what you reckon, good idea?? as i said, nothing to be lost really, i love it and keep it and flip something else, or just return it to WF, at least ill know one way or the other!

    First off . . . Congrats!!

    I was admiring a number of Zenith watches yesterday and think these are lovely looking. At £3.5k it's also not eye wateringly expensive like most gold watches. Good buy. Looking forward to the wrist shot when it arrives!!!

    The Heritage Ultra Thin is a beauty, and by the looks of it, the gold works just as well as SS.

    My only concern when I tried them on at the AD, was the fact they seemed rather large for a dress watch. 40mm that is all dial and very little in the way of bezel wears much larger than I expected.

    Still, beautifully made, lovely movement, and seems good value for what you've paid.

    A nicely taken picture....could almost be an advert

    I think these watches have a timeless quality....look 50s in some ways but beautifully crisp as well.

    Classy!

    Go for it, that Zenith looks amazing, and like you say you've got nothing to lose ;-)

    I think gold watches combined with black dials look stunning, and that Zenith is no exception.

    Nice find, i'd have trouble choosing one though if both black and white dialed ones were next to each other.
