Owner Review: Zenith A3736 Chronograph – My watch Zenith

I’ve found when choosing a watch to spend some serious time with, that the old fashioned approaching to dating works best. It’s easy to do some research to find a perfect match for all the “vital statistics” you think you want and need, but nothing’s better than when your heart skips a beat at first…
