I think you are completely wrong about the strap. The size is perfect and the quality/look is phenomenal. My only thought is that it might be better with a dark brown vice black. Obviously, this is a subjective category.

Dave, your points about strap and manual-wind to reduce thickness are consistent with another Thai brand you know well, WISE. My last two purchases are the WISE AD760 Damascus Steel and the AD15 w/24kt gold dial. Both run on a 9015 no-date auto. The 760 has both a casual strap and a dress strap and is just 11mm o.a. The AD15 has brown croc and black ostrich dress straps and is a remarkable 9.65mm o.a. Autos can be thin. Another special series related to this Zelos is "Asura" with a 95% similar dial space composition but a case inspired by classic Thai design (reminds me of the Pitzmann!).

Why is a quartz watch a compromise?
@ashocck806520 күн бұрын
B/c most watch enthusiasts prefer mechanical movements and usually cringe at quartz ones. When people get into watches, they do not care about these things, but if they get more serious about watches, their perspectives change. Obviously if you are into Casio, it's different, but Casio collectors are basically a relatively small subsection of watch collectors.
@davidhunternyc121 күн бұрын
Why does every caseback need to be an exhibition caseback? It's out of hand. Unless the movement is utterly beautiful to behold, like on an A. Lange & Sohne, close the caseback. Even on Grand Seiko, most watches should have a closed caseback.
@henkrpe324920 күн бұрын
Case looks cheap... If you're going to do a stamped case don't design it with so many steps, it's really obvious how soft the edges are...

That does seem like a lot of back play when winding. Though I’m sure it’s normal, a larger crown might make that less aggravating, but would not change that. It would need a different pinion and wheel set with more teeth for the click to backstop on. Or a refinement in the click mechanism itself. I think the strongly tapered 20mm strap looks great! Now ask Zelos when a moon phase variant is coming!

How come they could get an ETA caliber for this? I thought ETA is reserved for the Swatch brands.
@JusttheWatch19 күн бұрын
I think they were for awhile and then lost a court case or something that said they had to sell to other brands. But they're still rare outside of swatch as they're a bit more expensive than Selita.
@Bob_Smith1921 күн бұрын
20mm lugs are the correct size. It’s the correct size at 36mm as well. I am biased as I do not like 18mm straps, especially when they taper. Lug to lug should never be an odd number. There is no risk of them selling out on release. You can order until the 31st and they will be released in two batches. The only linited run is the tantalum version.

@drzaius84421 күн бұрын
The MOP mosaic version is heart stopping. Im not sure how often I would wear it, as the legibility is almost zero, but god it’s gorgeous. Edit: I don’t think you need to see the indices/numerals to read a watch. We all know where the indices are. You just need to see the hands.
@jerryglasses222921 күн бұрын
I'm so torn on this watch. When I saw the pics I thought,100% buying. Real guilloche for $800!Now watching vids the legibility is just terrible. I guess that's why Breguet uses a brushed outer ring for the indices. Also other brands will use blued indices. I actually like 20mm lugs on watches as small as 36mm. It gives more wrist presence to a small watch. 18mm makes the watch look small on my 7 in wrist. And would add the Rolex traditionally used 20mm on their 36mm cases. I would agree that the style of the strap doesn't match the style of the watch. Would also agree that the seconds hand is a let down along with the not capping the pinion. Capped pinions are such a small detail but really make a difference, giving a feel of quality. But it's only $800!!!!!!
@keysersoze5039 күн бұрын
You should be able to find a well made good looking watch for $750.00. If you can't then save your money and buy a Casio. Watch companies are testing the limits of pricing beyond reason. Not sure if this particular model is worth it.

the indices get lost in the dial. At least they do for the color of that dial. Part of the appeal for a beautiful dial is the HAND MADE aspect needed in creating the dial.

Here we go again. If Ali wore the Tank and men that fought world wars wore 33-35mm watches, and you think 37mm is for women, there is something wrong with your perception of masculinity.
@Bob_Smith1921 күн бұрын
37mm is still larger than the average size that men have worn throughout history. It also ignores the fact the average wrist for males is 6.75”. The size is not to small for the average wrist. Watches have become grossly oversized over the past two decades or so. Thankfully the trend is towards reasonable sizing.
