    Hey, that's one of the watches I bought from VTC some time back!

    I get lots of compliments whenever I wear it or the Junkers watch I also bought from VTC.

    The Zeppelin watch has an interesting GMT hand because it is on a 24-hour dial instead of a 12-hour dial.
    The setting knob as two positions:
    - on the first position when pulled out, one knob direction sets the date, the other direction sets the GMT hour hand.
    - on the second position out, it sets the time and moves the GMT hour hand in sync with the time hands changing.

    Great watch. Hard to beat it for the price.

    Here's a pic of me wearing the Zeppelin watch today.

    Sexy pic Ron! :)

    Hi Lino,

    It's neither of those. I bought the case, movement (Unitas), crown and crystal separately and put it together. And the strap is a Panerai style strap from our shop.
    Took a while to get the correct dial and hands, but it's finally done.
