Zenith Defy Skyline Skeleton

I currently have 3 watches. 2 rolexes (sky dweller and GMT batgirl) and 1 Tudor GMT pepsi. Today i added a Zenith to my collection. I gotta say that this is a gorgeous watch and sometimes i like it better than my rolexes.

I am new to this watch enthusiast world and Zenith was a brand I didn’t know much about. But after reading its history i am loving it even more.

nice watch there sir. I think Zenith's are still one of the greatest watch brands and excellent value compared to the other go to brands selling the same steel sports alternatives.

Zenith has solid products and terrific relative value compared to the highly-pursued usual suspects. Enjoy!

I assume that’s blue but tough to tell. I have it too and enjoy it. I’d say 1mm too thick if I had to nitpick but it’s a real fun skellie. I am already questioning whether I’d prefer the black ceramic version. The polish brushing on ours is amazing. It has that flash when flicking the wrist . Dare i say like an AP RO or PP 5711 even.

Thanks! Sky dweller is a bit bulkier and heavier. But for my wrist size fits well too

Yes it is the blue one. Under the light the blue really pops.
