With all those Chronograph threads ... The Zenith Cronomaster

Imo still one of the best you can get for an acceptable price.
(7.5K euro)
But you get a movement with a great history, a superb chrono, a complete calendar, a moonphase ...

And a GREAT looking watch.

They are available in several sizes and diald but the original 40 mm with non-guilloche silver grey dail is imo the best looking

Mine and my friends

I have always LOVED the Zenith EP CM!

Thanks for sharing your impressions and pics of this GREAT timepiece!

Bo--you already have the world's greatest chrono. Everything else would be a letdown.

Yes, the Daytona cal. 4130 movt. is among the ten best chronograph movts. EVER made:

Article. (do a page search for "Top ten"). CLICK!

Although I have not seen that "Top Ten" list of chronographs, I BET the El Primero is on that list!

The Chronomaster is a superb watch.

I dithered on over a black face 2003 model, mint with box/papers at just £1750.

While I hesitated, it sold. Damn !

Want this watch soooo bad!!

This one is for sale on the WUS sales forum. I think their forum sucks, but they always have a ton of stuff on the sales corner.
