I am not really sure what other watch this may resemble, because having a memory problem myself (medical), I need to have all watches on the screen more or less at the same time to give a judgement on similarities. But apart from my problems, I really like this watch. It is clear to read and I might be slow, but it took a while before I realised it had no figures! With no figures I am not really sure if it matters, other than being a 'gimmicky' thing whether there's stripes, dots, blocks of colour, or monotone decoration, it is a nonsense. As far as I can see not even a doctor knows your DNA, so why should a watch give anyone any clues about it, just daft. However, the dial is pretty uncluttered and very easy to read, and I think this is one watch I would definitely have to have in my hands for ten minutes, before I find out the advertising 'hype', is just that. This is a really decent looking watch, relatively plain for a chrono' and I like the choice of straps! I especially like the "Ostrich" ones, as these seem to have a direct connection to me via my Family Tree, as my name ends in 'ostrich', though 'john' is not my first name! It means I can have a link to any one of my departed family via 'their' skin. I realise that may sound gross! But that really is my name and such a rare one I doubt there is many more than 6 in the world, so any time I see 'Ostrich' it just makes me smile! Sorry it's just my sense of humour! I like the watch and the different straps give it a different look. I know I am a cheap-skate but, expensive tastes and shallow pockets do not really go together you know? So, despite how they have tried to make this something it isn't and that is 'special', it does have something about it, that would make me look twice, IF it were in my price range, and I have found it desperately embarrassing when trying to 'guess' the price of a watch, that they may be ten times or more my price estimate, so now I wait and see the actual cost, then say or think, "you have got to be joking"!

It's an interesting concept but it comes across as a gimick in my opinion. I do like the use of the Zenith movement, however.

At first glance I thought I was about to see a new variation of a Girard Perregeaux WWTC watch; but then upon closer inspection it turns out to be just a chronograph with an overly busy dial. Extra points for the Zenith movement but I think the dial is fugly.

Seems gimmicky to me, and talk about killing resale value; I wouldn't want a watch with someone else's DNA.

These are very nice, but I bet they are going to come in at a high premium, espcially with the EP400 in them - makes me wonder why I would want it? I have several auto and manual chronos, and yes, they all have thier nuances, but do I need to go and drop a lot for this one? Doubtful. This just doesn't "push the lust button", as some might say.

Nice watch. The DNA dial outlay is cool and the overall appearance is pretty balanced. I also like the Van Ree logo. It is kind of sporty. It is good to see watches without the ETA movement. Zenith is a quality movement. I don't like the orange watch band. I think the black with croc looks the best.

I REALLY like these chronos. More of a modern look than the traditional chrono. Only thing I would change is the Van Ree logo. This is the best logo they could come up with?

Interesting about Zenith. It could just be perception but it seems like more and more watches are using Zenith movements. With Swatch group putting an end to ETA selling movements, I'm seeing Zenith as one of the top movement makers to fill in the void left by ETA.
