Simple Living

My 5 for 2020. I guess nostalgia just sinks in and you get used to what you have.  Some of my watches, I've owned for almost 9 years and now have become a part of my personal life journey and serve almost like milestones for things I've done or seen.  Granted they are just material possessions and have no intrinsic meaning, but for now, they do. I've since spent time between the Rolex, Omega and Zenith for first 3 months of 2020 and rotating back to the Omega.  Mechanical watches seem to be my preference, but having at least one quartz is always nice, thus the need for the Armani. The Seiko, while I rarely wear it, is something I just like having.  You always need at least one good beater mechanical watch.

Going through my collection and shifted from the Omega and Rolex that take up most of my wrist time, next to the Apple Watch.  For past few weeks, I've worn primarily the Zenith Cal 126 vintage that I purchased several years ago in 2015.  The size is perfect and the overall form factor and color combination are what I'm preferring in a watch these days.  While the Rolex Explorer is still perfect and the Omega Seamaster has a special place, I'm finding this simple Zenith still phenomenal. Granted...I'm not 100% certain on the provenance of this particular Zenith (might be a replica or a knock-off), but it works and does what I need.  In hindsight, while a Hamilton Khaki or Seiko SARB033 would have been great, I wouldn't have known the joy of trying something vintage. Sub-Second Dial I think overall, its the 'bauhaus' styling that I first discovered admiring the Nomos Tangente that got me interested in this Zenith.  And truthfully, there was another Zenit
