New Arrival - Zero

BASE!!! I just got this today. Yay!!!!

I forgot how nice the normal Luminor cases feel after getting used to the brick that is the 1950s case.

The new one


The mates together

You think the 1950's case is a "brick?" Huh......

Thanks!

Don't get me wrong, I love my 312! However, there is a most definite difference in heft on my 6.5 in wrists.

Congrats from a fellow zero owner.

How much heavier is the 312 vs the 000?

Thanks all!

I dont have a quantification for the weight diiference between the 312 and zero, but it is noticeable. I think it is a good and bad thing. Good that I feel what I paid for on my wrist with a 312. Bad that my wrist can use a break sometimes, especially when I put another smaller/lighter watch on my wrist.

Maybe a Rad. The new 338 is intriguing!

The 233 has the 1950s case but it's MUCH lower proifile than the 312. I would venture to say even lower profile than your Zero.

That's interesting Ty! Probably due to the 312 being automatic? I might have to go to an AD to try out the 233!
