Zenith defy skyline 41mm

Liking these, at least from pictures. I had an El Primero Chronomaster years ago and was very impressed. Any TRFers have experience with these ?

I had one, blue. I really liked the watch, but it was the only watch I have ever owned that would pull my wrist hairs out. For me, not a great experience. Having said that, I am fairly certain I have not read of many others having that issue. Just didn’t work for me.

I recently bought a Zenith Defy Skyline Skeleton Ceramic. It’s fantastic. The skeletonization is outstanding. Worth checking out in person.

Pics please, I’m interested in that one. I bought the ss blue skellie and felt it was a great piece but I didn’t like it in blue. You get AP bracelet shine for like 8 k

Have the white. One of my most worn watches since acquiring it. It's not an AP or any of the elite models in this category but probably the most reliable and low key of them all.

I love the brand, but I just don't vibe with the constantly running 1/10 of a second hand.

I understand in a chronograph, but it is far too hectic and busy in a seconds hand. Much too rushed if you will. Plus you have no idea when the next second actually happens if you like setting with accuracy.

It's an uncommon and different feature that shows off a really cool 5hz movement, but it makes the watch a deal breaker for me even though I love the design.
