@Howard Oh I see, time for a bit of sunlight on that dial surely?
@Sumo Yeah its mine. A bit of chunk for sure. Definitely has a strong wrist presence and the weigh between the two is a big difference but I think they've done well with the case height adjustment and its definitely wears smaller than the stated specs suggest. The Zenith is exactly that and that's how I would describe it. I have a bit of a weakness for well executed sunburst dials.
@hurricane_run Thank you! I thought it was time to go a bit wild with the wedding rollercoaster I've been on.
@jv Thank very much:) I got it custom made. Went and picked the two blue sapphires from a gem fair in Hatton Garden, from Queensland Australia. They did not have an orange one there as they are fairly rare and expensive and most times will be heated to achieve a vivid orange like that, so that was sourced by the jeweller. The others are not treated or heated.
Edit: Re-read this and thought that the bit about the orange sapphire made me sound like a stuck up wanker (open for debate 😂). I just decided on these colours before trying to source the stones and learned in the process that orange sapphires are rare in this colour, especially when not heated or treated. I'll pipe down now 👍🏻
Yes I think so. Been doing quite a lot of DIY, up and down scaffolds and toddler parenting -that probably has something to do with it not getting much sunlight too!

@hugo7 True, the Tudor is pushing my wrist limit.
