    If it wasn't the Striking 10th version, I'd skip it - it's just an EP in a very oversized case otherwise. Beautifully made, but very large indeed for the movement.

    And I'd still plump for the Ti version of the PO, but then you don't get your orange highlights... You do get blue instead though :)

    Point taken about the Zenith, Lewis.

    I have a big thing about colours, so I ideally want to have dial or bezel colours in my collection covering black, blue, white, grey, brown, silver, yellow and orange...

    I currently have all those covered apart from silver, so I wouldn't want a blue PO because it's one of the few good options for orange in my opinion. My need for blue is taken care of with my Navitimer World.

    This would be my choice, though a bit pricey even with the current discount.
    Striking 10th, non-Stratos but with the same dial and subdial colours. The bezel on the Stratos ruins it for me personally.

    Zenith El Primero Stratos Flyback Tribute to Felix Baumgartner

    That's a heck of a long name for a watch!

    None of the three shown - all of those brands do better watches.

    ... which for various reasons I don't want...!

    My question was which you would choose if they were your options...

    Yes I understood the question but my answer would still be the same - none of the above as they are all flawed watches (in my opinion).
