I have the 42mm Classic Cars variant of the El Primero and it's one that will never leave my collection. Sometimes I can just flip it over and stare at the movement for what seems like hours (not really hours). Zenith is top tier. Great vid and cool 38mm!

Such an amazing watch. Can't knock Bobby Legs for flipping this for a BB58, but wow is it nice! Rob, I'm with you on the 42mm version, especially since my wrist is a little bit bigger than yours. But, for most folks, that 38 will wear really really well.

I have the 42mm version and it is stunning. Although the 39mm might fit a bit better on my wrist, I am so impressed with the jewel-like craftsmanship that I feel like the larger size allows me to appreciate it just that much more! Also, as you pointed out, the sub-14mm thickness for an automatic chronograph is a real plus - this thing feels relatively slim.

I like this Zenith a lot - tried it on at an AD. I have similar sized wrist, and normally like larger watches, but the 38 Zenith on leather is sort of interesting, as for a medium wrist, this can pass as your dress watch for formal occasions. I think Zenith is the only chronograph that does that. To me, this has more charm and is more cool than a Daytona.
@mikec3454

Just a stunning watch ... I do wish Zenith left the date window off the 38 or at least kept it at 6 o'clock. I really dislike the 4:30 date window but I could totally make an exception for this watch. Already planning what watch to get for my 10th wedding anniversary (several years away) and this would be one.

More people gravitate towards the 38mm one because it wears more like a 40-41mm due the large dial/crystal diameter (about 34mm) and the decent lug to lug length compared to the 42mm one (38mm dial and 50.5mm lug to lug ) that wears like a plate on the average wrist (probably closer to 45mm visually)

Love this watch but zenith really needs to cut their minute hands shorter so the minute track is more legible and add hacking to the el primero movement. Besides that it’s incredible and at one point I considered buying this on a bracelet if it could be had for a fair enough price below retail.

Hmm not sure if I want to spend 5 to 7k on a watch that would require more frequent and expensive servicing. I'll stick to my vintage Seiko high beat for 36000 action!
