Zenith

I've been lusting after this piece ever since I saw the original previews that were posted online back in Jan as part of a private SIHH showing. The new Type 20 line is really well done, but the piece that really sung to me was the GMT model. I was a litt...  

For whose who find the 40mm too small, this GMT is IMHO the best option within the new Type 20: its large size without being too bulky, a useful complication well integrated, good finishings... you will be happy with it. Congrats! Fx

I think you made the right choice on the SS over the Red Baron. Zenith HK just called me up to say they got their first GMTs in this week so I should join you as soon as I can make the trip from Shanghai. Could you quickly review the GMT function? Also, o... 

Dean, Happy to let you know how the GMT function works... The GMT function actually works differently from other GMT watches I have (Rolex GMT/Explorer II, PAM233) In some ways the Zenith works in reverse and isn't as intuitive to use as my other GMTs IMO... 

And hope your new acquisition brings you many years of happiness. Have you seen the 40mm yet? Just curious. I think it is too small for me, but would like to get one for my better half.

Dean, I have no seen the 40mm in person, only picts that have been posted. I think that as a pilot watch, 40mm would be too small for me too. Pilot watches IMO need to be a little oversize to speak to their heritage and tradition :-) I actually liked the ...

thanks for the nice review

Can you please let me know the lug width of this beauty?!

24mm at the lug tapering to 22mm at the buckle. FYI - these are the same measurements as Panerai uses on it's 44mm models. Cheers -Sam

Evosam, your watch is very nice! I'm this close to pulling the trigger on one! I have a question - how do you change the strap on this watch? Do the lugs unscrew into two pieces, similar to the radiomir system?
