That's a fine-ass Sinn.  I'm a wimp, so I wear a U50.

That's a swell trash bin, you damned old fool.

This made me laugh hard.

Picture this--a fellow is heading towards the checkout stand at the supermarket. His name is, I dunno--Galvin! Yes, that's it, he's Galvin. He's an architect, wears very thin eyeglasses with the frames made in Germany, drives a Polestar, has a wife who regularly does aerobics. Galvin is also wearing an Omega Speedy moon watch on his wrist. Galvin is proud of his watch, since he bought it (full price! None of that gray market Jomashop s**t for Galvin!) with the fee he was paid for his first big design for Section 8 housing for the poor and indigent. Galvin believes that even the least of us (read, broke white trash) deserve a home in a handsomely designed building.

And, as Galvin is checking out at the market, with plenty of kale and tofu, the guy bagging his groceries, named Jimmy, who has mild learning disabilities and lives, with his parents, at the very same Section 8 building that netted Galvin his Speedy, shows Galvin his new watch.

"Look, Mr. Galvin! I got a Speedy too! And, it's better than yours, because I don't have to wind it, and it's accurate to 15 seconds a month!" Then Jimmy laughs so hard that his unibrow wrinkles and he partially wets himself.

So, when Galvin gets home, he throws his Man on the Moon watch in his sock drawer, calls his jeweler, and gets on the wait list for a Daytona.

That's a nice one, foggy!  Is it automatik?

Early impressions:  It's really a pretty watch (my pics don't show it too well).  The bezel is quite good and looks nice with the neon green colourwheys.  The dial is polar white, which makes it somewhat difficult to read in certain light; the hands are high-polished chrome.  The lume is pretty pathetic, it actually fails the patented quick-glance-in-a-dark-car test.  

The design is nice, a throwback to Zodie's Aerospace series from the 1960s.  The size is good, too, 40mm, about 14mm thick.  I don't have my calipers anyplace I can find them, but the lug-to-lug is comfortable.  Lug size is 20mm, and tapers down to, I'd guess, around 16mm at the clasp.  Interestingly, here's one of the problems, viz:

On the bracelet, there's not so much of a taper as an afterthought plunge to a smaller size.  This is a watch that retails for damn near $1800, and the bracelet shouldn't look like that in this price range (I got it for a 25% discount from Topper Jewelers in CA.)

Indeed, there are other things that would have made this a killer eight- or nine-hundred dollar watch.  The timekeeping is all right, about 11-12 seconds fast a day, but not great. The finishing of the bracelet and case are also OK, but not some of note.  It's not a chronometer, but for nearly two grand, it wouldn't have killed Zodiac to tighten the timekeeping a little.  

Comparing this to another GMT I own, the Sinn 105 UTC (which retails for about $350 more than the Zodiac), there's no contest.  The Sinn offers so much more value than the Zodiac--more wearable, better timekeeping, overall, a lot more quality.  When I wear the Zodiac, I find myself wishing I had chosen the Sinn or Tudor GMT instead.

It sure is pretty, though.

It's neon green, you crazy Cajun.  Or something.
