not possible? just opposite- we pay way too much for other brands

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...

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!!!!!!

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.

100% the seconds hand and strap are completely out of place

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.

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.

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.

It's a Ten in my opinion.

It's too small, it should be 39 mm, on your wrist looks very small.

Your critique of some of the design choices was spot on IMO.

This is the third review I’m seeing, and even though I’m not a dress watch guy, I really like this. The macro shots really show off the details of that dial. Thanks!

Amazing looking dial I have a $130 Sugess breguet homage that’s got this guilloche pattern superb

This is a good review. A very critical and experienced eye.

Incredible watch!

The open pinion bothers me. The rest of the dial and handset is so clean but there's this gaping unfinished hole in the center

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!).

Crazy dial, absolutely amazing.

Another great video my man! This watch is incredible for the price!

Absolutely agree about the strap. It's nice but doesn't quite fit. Match it with a Milanese and we're getting somewhere.
