I have a friend that owns one of these, and to say his is totally enamored by it would be a huge understatement--------

Good historical read - always liked Zodiac — My Calame anniversary chrono is one of my favorite watches.

I think my pal, Conjurer, has one of those.

Those two Zodiacs are wonderful summery tool watches. Y'can feel the breeze.

Yup, that's me. Literally, the only thing interesting about this wartche is the somewhat-but-not-really interesting Soprod movement. Horrifically overpriced for what you actually get. Christ, I got 25% off from an AD and it was still horrifically overpriced. The case has Invicta-esque finishing, the bracelet blows, the movement is inaccurate, the bezel feels cheap, it wears on the wrist like shit. Let's put it this way--my relatively new Seiko Sports 5 GMT wears and looks a lot better, and cost around nine bills less.

I've worn it a few dozen times, and each time I put it on, about five minutes later I find myself wondering, why am I wearing this piece of shit?

Apart from that, do you like it?

Yup. Other than that, it's fine. When I wear it, sometimes I feel fresh and flirty. Sometimes, when I wear it, I have to lock myself in a public restroom to rub one out.

I hear Barnes & Noble have nice restrooms.
