I think I like it.

Generally I’ve like the case design for this series, and this one seems to be in a smaller more wearable size which makes it interesting (in theory). What is less appealing is that it is “just a tourbillon”. LOL As for the intersection of fashion and watc

We're almost 10 years removed from Zenith discontinuing the Elite 6150
