I think zenith makes nice watches and that one at grey market prices is very nice. problem for me is they had no issue copying the style of the daytona . I know I know Rolex used the el primero movement but I mean even the hands are from the daytona

Is this the one with the 37mm case? I looked into that watch because I like the size. However, I didn't like how the chrono hand goes around every 10 seconds instead of 60. Why do that? I just didn't get it.

I own it and I love it. This whole copying the Daytona thing is ridiculous imo. Google "Chronograph" and just about every brand that makes one looks like a Daytona.

I have this watch and I do really like it. Overall, I'm not a big chronograph fan, but, everyone told me I needed one and, since the Daytona is out of the question, this seemed to be the best alternative. Comparing it to my friend's Daytona:
The Good I like the three different colors of subdials - gives it a unique and playful look I appreciate the date complication (I use my watch more often for the date than the time) The 5Hz movement is awesome. Seeing the chrono hand advance is mesmerizing. The display caseback gives it an added layer of visual appeal The Bad The clasp is irritating. Doesn't open smoothly like a Rolex. The bracelet doesn't feel very solid - it feels like an older model Rolex bracelet (like a 90's oyster bracelet) I kind of wish the subdials didn't overlap. I *think* I'd prefer them to be separated (though I can't really say for sure without seeing what it would look like) I picked it up almost new for $8K, so the price point was definitely right. |

At different points I have owned both the white and black variant. It is a very nice looking watch, I really liked the 1/10 chrono - very unique. I found the black to have legibility issues, the white was better but still some issues in some lighting conditions. The bracelet and clasp are, for a near $10k watch, a joke - they both feel very cheaply made. Further, sizing a bracelet by yourself takes some skill. The screw heads on both sides are uniquely difficult to deal with.

I have the rose gold with leather strap version and is one of my favorite watches. I also have a Daytona and for me they are very different watches. The zenith looks prettier and the Daytona is a Daytona

I really like them and they look really sharp. I did get a chance to try it on a little over a year ago and really liked how it wore.
I would definitely consider buying one if I can find a great deal on a used one. |

My AD just brought Zenith in and I have enjoyed looking at and handling the watches. My biggest issue with the brand is the poor resale value and a market that is somewhat full of discounted new models. I will get one from my AD at some point once I decide what I want but it will be at a fair discount and I will plan on having it in the collection. I do like the model you have shown.

I tried one at the AD and have the same filing like others about the bracelet and clasp. I like the look but I don’t like have Zenith made the bracelet and clasp.

I am a huge fan. I was offered a 15% discount in Paris. At some point I am going to add one to my collection.

Zenith makes terrific watches and are underrated
I have this one as well as the Aaron Rodgers - the A Rod is actually pretty awesome |

Today I finally adjusted the pink lady to my wrist.
Couldn't wait to take some photos. There are quite a few, but the dial has so many various shades and depth and I hope they give a feeling of what it can show. Depending on the light, you can see so many beautiful colors.

Absolutely love mine. i gave up on bagging a Daytona a long time ago, and this more than makes up for it.
