    I think I'm in love. This might very well be the most beautiful watch I've seen. Not a traditional styled moonphase. For me it looks alot better for it.

    Posted on TZ-UK. It is the bottom version.

    Quite a rare watch, but the Zenith Grande Chronomaster GT is a bit nice... (as is its slightly pricier Grande Chronomaster XT stable-mate).

    The GT is 42mm with an El Primero Cal.4001 and the XT is 43mm with a Cal.4009. Both have Moonphase (or the slightly more subtle so called "Moonage" in the case of the XT), along with Full Calendars and Flyback complications and either should be doable at or about your budget... if one crops up that is.

    Stunning watch and a technical masterpiece, no doubt ...not my taste though.

    Have to say though, the date window with the tilted number ruins the symmetry of the whole composition and the minute markers on top of the window completely spoil it (for me anyhow). Even if I liked the style of the watch ...those two details would stop me from spending a demi-fortune on it.

    Not an add DT just a discussion.

    I checked on line and they are not over the top price wise when compared to others. Obviously depends on whether gold or steel.

    I agree with you on the location of the date window. It would have been better at the 3.00 mark.
