    Awesome. I really think Zodiac is putting out some great watches at great prices. I'd definitely add another to my collection.

    Which other 1's do you have coming?


    LE OF 20 pieces & @ 1495. How does Zodiac do it? Incredible esp. @ that price point..

    You missed they are also chronometers which makes them even more amazing. There are two more Topper LE 53 that will be a larger group then these. There is also a possible a third additional 53 LE. These are slated for around a September and all are no date versions. Each is unique and ties to a model from the past with some modern tweaks like this one has. Zodiac may release some non LE versions of some of these possibly with the date function. I also have the SSW 68 50th Anniversary LE on order.

    Saw that as well ( the Chronometer).. So the 1's you have coming aren't on his site then cuz I know you don't like certain date placements & I see some of the others def have a weird date placement.

    That has a very precision machine look to it. Not over polished, no unnecessary lines yet a bit high tech industrial feel. Bracelet in the rendering looks different at the end links versus the way it is in the wrist shot? Nice.

    Thanks Michael. Yes, the end links, or lack of, are different than the one on the Limes web site. I purchased this pre loved and it originated with the Watchmann in Feb of 2017, and have since reached out to Limes to see if I can get the newer end links. I'm not really digging this bracelet with said lack of end links, so maybe this is a prime candidate for shark mesh!

    BTW, that Zodiac is killer!

    I was not there, but they only allocated one of each of those to the stores.

    Since you like vintage have you seen the Zodiac Olympus mystery dial in the preorder area.

    I did post the 20 piece Topper Zodiacs here a few weeks before Basel. Sorry if you missed it. The silver sold out in about a week, and the black sold out five days ago. There is a wait list if anyone who preorders backs out. I can let you know when the other three are ready to be shown publicly. There will be a much larger number of those when they come out but still LE and no date.
