Cathedral hands are not my favorite but nothing wrong with this one in my opinion.

Yeah that, as long as we’re talking the 40mm and not the larger ones....

This was the nicest I ever had -

That's a fairly cohesive dial and handset combination in muted greys. The issues I have with cathedral hands, apart from looking like some horological tribute to St Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, is that they're often put on very busy, colourful dials where they don't fit in and are asked to do too much work to coordinate the whole show. Like the Seiko Alpinist. I could kill that thing all day long, starting with the non-existent relationship between the hands and the indices.

So the Zenith is a similar story to tribe's Tutima. Muted greys, cohesive, and the cathedral hands here are shaped much more sleekly than the standard St Basil's variety.

Don't get me wrong. I love St Basil's, but if anyone should be using them, it's Vostok in another one of their awesome designs from a parallel dimension. Not too many others should tread there.

I'd stick with an Overseas.

Cathedral hands are by far the worst handset I've ever seen. I will not buy a watch that has them.

Who would expect such a dramatic turn of events.

[is that my watch]

See to me that watch just doesn’t work in the 40. Made to be big and small second. And never in bronze. I’ll never understand a bronze pilot watch regardless of who makes it.

Having never actually strapped either to my wrist I shouldn't dismiss either,( although once I did get to the opposite side of a jewellers window to see them 12 inches away)
