You too! It's hard to choose between the two but the ZO9213 is just perfect in my eyes 🤌.

I actually did download the Antarctic book after I bought my watch. I love that they made these books.

I agree with your points. Heck, I can't even swim so it's not an issue for me. But this is more of an irrational thing- I know logically that 50m WR should be more than enough for a field watch. But I just think that any MILSPEC watch should be at least 100m WR (even if the specifications only call for 50m WR).

Looking good! That khaki strap matches the indices perfectly.

I've only been on here a few days. Very informative post and your collection is incredible. We have the same size wrist if you feel you have too many 😂. I had first heard of Nivada Grenchen when reading a book about the Black Dahlia murder and how there was a Croton watch found at the crime scene. Did some interneting and came across the NG Chronomaster and fell in love. I didn't know about the Croton/NG regional branding though- super interesting!

I understand your point about zombie brands trying to cash in on the company's heritage, but Vertex isn't a typically re-emergence though. It was resurrected by the great grandson of the original founder so to me it still has the heritage. Same with Fears for that matter.

I'm glad they are getting more popular. Some of their recent colorful variations aren't my style, but I love their vintage/heritage inspired pieces.
