SOME OF THE CUSTOMER REVIEWS ABOUT THIS WATCH SAMPLE :
1) This watch is fabulous. A true historical achievement. - This watch is fabulous!
I have been collecting high end watches for 15 years, i have owned and still own pieces from the highest and the most exclusive brands. This Zenith with the caliber 4052 foudroyante is the most important chronograph since the first El Primero (pun intended) was made back in 1969.
The pleasure of seeing all what can happen from one second to the next is uncomparable to any other chronograph on the market.
I can't speak for Amazon's warranty because i have purchased it used, but as far as the watch itself and Zenith in general are concerned, i must repor that i am delighted.
The watch is so versatile, at the same time elegant and sporty, that i am wearing it all week long and i never miss my other pieces. Yes, my Lange Sohne, my Audemars Piguet and my numerous Rolexes are parked on my winder since i've purchased the Zenith El Primero Striking 10th. It is the most interesting watch (horologically speaking) that i have ever possessed. This is simply an incredible complication and finishing is top notch.

2) DISGUSTING QUALITY & NO WARRANTY. AVOID !! - The watch looks good and worked good - for less than 3 weeks. Then it started going too fast, then to slow, and jumped back 15 min in less than 5. Disgusting. I have many mechanical watches and do treat them very carefully, so can only assume that it's poor quality or poor testing straight out of the factory.
Now I'm realizing that there is no official manufacturer warranty, since Amazon is not an authorized Zenith dealer. And the 2 years warranty offered by Amazon is de facto not accessible for non-US buyers.
So my advice would be: STAY AWAY FROM THIS WATCH - and AVOID buying expensive watches on AMAZON given they do not offer the manufacturers warranty :-(
