...but really, cmon, no striking time? ��
How w about some shots of the movement?

No Striking Time and was offered it too but not practical for me. It is over 44mm and thick as it gets. It is a gimmicky feature in my eyes as only makes sound. It isn't a minute repeater and again just too big for my taste. This perfect and class of ZW's IMHO.

Good choice. The original is the way to go! Looks fantastic.

Great pic of the movement

Can I request for a sunlight shot Ken? WG looks great under sunlight.

This ALS is the one for me--just amazing (and yes a Minute Repeater)

For the first time ever in a mechanical watch, the ZEITWERK MINUTE REPEATER brings together a jumping numerals display with a decimal minute repeater. The acoustic time indication consists of a low-pitched tone for each elapsed hour, a double tone for each elapsed ten-minute period, and a high-pitched tone for each elapsed minute. Thus, the time as sounded corresponds exactly to the time as displayed.

Yes and that is a whole different animal than the Striking Time Paul! A true minute repeater vs watch that simply makes sound.

Oh and just a tad bit more money! LOL

Don't disagree

This is the ALS thread, just giving my opinion of what I would like (granted 440,000 euro :-).

They all rock in my book.

I love your watch Ken--and agree with your striking comment without question.

I know I just didn't want you to think my mention of Striking Time referenced this one. I was referencing the plain ST which is to me a bit gimmicky as not a MP like one you showed. All do rock for sure!!

Tried on my friend's Zeitwerk. How does it look? My wrist is 6.75". This watch does wears big...

conkers · 4 March 2015, 08:50 PM

Too big I fear Ben. Shame as it's an amazing watch, although not quite as amazing as the Platinum 1815 Perpetual Rattrapante DavidSW has in stock!!

Very hard to tell from that angle. Only real way is looking top down. For me with 7.5 inch flat wrist I have almost 3/4 of an inch on each side top and bottom when looking down maybe even more. Wrist shots are tough to gauge in photos. How does it look when your wrist is normal or looking down on it? How does it feel?

For me though I think I would rather have RG Double Split believe it or not Roger and save a bunch!

For me DS and 5970R equals perfection! The Dato Perp is nice but the 5970R is heavenly!

The watch definitely wears large, and because of the size have a sporty look. Definitely not a dressy watch, more casual. I have larger watches like my ROO and IWC so I think it's OK.

I agree and think you will be fine especially as you are wearing larger watches.
