Zenith Chronomaster Sport Yoshida

I've been wanting to add a Zenith Chronomaster Sport to the collection, but there was no urgency. It was eventually going to happen.

Then I saw this limited release. One of 250 available exclusively through Yoshida in Japan. Ice blue dial. I had to have it.

Purchased over the holiday from DavidSW. Ordered at 5:30pm had the watch in hand before noon the next day. Unbelievable service and such an easy transaction. Dangerously easy!

I am so excited to wear this. I had it on a sailcloth strap for a couple of hours yesterday. Right now I am strategizing about how to resize the bracelet. For those not familiar, it requires two 1.5mm screws inserted on either side of the link.

ref: 03.3105.3600/52.M3100

Ordered Screw Removing Tool | SCR-896.00
from Amazon which is arriving later in the week

Wow that looks amazing!! And here I thought the white dial was the best iteration of the Chronomaster Sport…this one might just take the podium!

I waited a few days before answering because my initial feeling was "OK, just another Tiffany-blue-wannabe watch, meh." but the more I look at it the more I like it.

Hehe...in terms of "wannabe" I thought this watch was trying to be a platinum Daytona

This watch isn’t a wannabe anything. It’s a wonderful watch in its own right, with a revolutionary EP movement and a very high quality of fit and finish.

The LE dials look great (although I’ll not be changing my own white dial anytime soon). Come granulations to the OP on a superb pickup.

I think the Zenith CS it’s an amazing watch with the history and credentials to match the Daytona. These LEs are getting a bit TOO common for my liking but I couldn’t resist the Yoshida 88 piece LE with the black subdials!
