Not sure how it’s my first but it was worth the wait! 41mm 10.75mm thick 🤤 and the rubber strap is like butter.

Bought brand new for 35% off MSRP but now that I have it I think I would have paid $7k would have I had known how much I'd love it.

Zenith Defy Classic...love to hear your thoughts.

So nice
I think zenith has a lot of upside coming !

My eyes are good and I've never had "legibility" issues with any watch and there are a lot that people complain about.

And even if it is less instantly legible than my other watches...it offers so much MORE than my other watches. Fair Trade!

I really want a defy 21.

Your classic looks great.

Thank you!

Love how the light plays off the watch...kind of adds to its legibility as well. Pics taken 2 seconds apart...

Congratulations. A great looking and unique watch. Looks like it would be one of those watches that would be fun to own.

brandrea · 17 January 2022, 02:53 AM

Congratulations

Thanks. It really is. For me it checks so many boxes compared to the others I own in my signature....Zenith, Titanium, Rubber Strap, Open Works/Skeleton

Pw92676 · 17 January 2022, 04:21 AM

Looks great! Enjoy!

Zenith Defy Classic...love to hear your thoughts.

I'm actually considering this same watch. May I ask where you were able to get a discount on it?

JomaShop about 35% off. I know some will be aghast that I didn't buy from AD for warranty but for the money saved I could repair it 4 times. Plus Zenith is only a 2 year warranty anyway. Been buying watches for almost 25 years and have never used a warranty. I'll take the savings...also they say that they hold the warranty and IF I had to send it back they will send it off to Zenith and then ship back to me. No brainer in my world

Very cool watch! Strap is as cool as the watch.

I almost like the strap more than the watch.

Almost.

Looks fantastic! I’ve seen conflicting reports - does this have a screw down or push/pull crown?

Nav01L · 17 January 2022, 05:33 AM

A beautiful and highly underrated piece, very nice! Congratulations!

Not a screw down but when I called Zenith to order another rubber strap(I love it so much I want a back up!

) they told me that it has 100m of WR and is for use with "all water activity". I'd have no problem wearing this in the pool/ocean...and I will

Chiboy · 17 January 2022, 06:51 AM

Damn, that’s really cool! Enjoy it!

Everything about this looks like a “more expensive” watch to me than it is. Does it give the feel in the flesh?

It does honestly. As long as you don't need that heavy brick feeling on your wrist!

djnick · 17 January 2022, 11:18 AM

Fantastic pickup ! I got the exact same configuration last year. It’s super comfortable and light to wear. Hacking seconds / quick set date . 100 meter water resistance. Very unique looking got mine for similar off retail worth every penny
