Also, interesting you say I'm overly dismissive, in light of some slightly more direct comments, to wit:

Of course. What counts more than anything is an individuals personal opinion about the watches he likes, respects and ultimately would want to wear.
It must be that way. Watches really don't do anything for us (I frequently get pilloried for saying this) that our iphones don't already do better. We don't need them. So it is about wanting them and that is very personal.
I am a huge fan of Zenith. For their history, their massive horological achievements and some of the beautiful and magnificently well made watches they create, at prices that are extremely reasonable when compared to their competition.
That said, I am the first to admit that there was a period of time, under Nataf, when they produced some really awful watches, albeit, well made awful watches. :-)
