Nooooooo. Don't ride around with that on your wrist!
As a fellow purist and a bike fanatic, I can tell you from personal experience that fine watches and fine bicycles don't mix.
It makes for a very expensive crash!

Another Purist succumbs!

A Daytona... There are some who waited up to 3 or 4 years before getting one. Ok, this was the 16520, the so called Dayto Zenith, and not this version, so called Dayto Rolex. But you will, or certainly already had, feel / felt the magic of this Watch. So,...
Ah well, I waited 10 years

Nicolas, I came close to buying a white dial version last year, have toyed with gold ones, lusted after a meteorite dial ... (Photo from the web) avoided the Zeniths because I\'ve already had two Zenith El Primero chronos, and suddenly fell for this one. ...

with a natural choice for it on the wrist! Wonderful - I have the exact same model. So does my business partner. We enjoy admiring each one at a distance. The only thing missing is the bike. Strange - I never noticed before that "Daytona" is printed in re...

Closest I\'ve been to Tim Allen is watching Galaxy Quest about 10 times - a great fusion of Star Trek and Tool Time. I met His sidekick Al, and I know Dave McFadzean, who with two friends created and wrote all the "Home Improvement" shows. And yes, my shy...

Made by hand, silver-soldered by a couple old ladies in a garage in Wisconsin but retailed through bike shops as the top Schwinn model in their line. I bought it for myself on my 21st birthday so have had it now (counting on fingers) 41 years. It's basica...
