Here are some more pictures although it's the limited edition version currently very hot in EU now with the script "El Primero" and what seems like a vintage color superluminova:

Zenith used to make the movements for the Rolex Daytona up until 2000 I think. The El Primiero Movement

Saw some beautiful Zenith watches in St. Thomas USVI last week. My fav was an El Primero XL partial skeleton. I would have bought it if it haf the roman numerals for markers instead of the dots

I have the same Classic Defy. Great watch, yes resale value sucks but excellent fit and finish. Probably the watch I have gotten more compliments on than any other.

Zenith is a great brand. Everytime I see Rob "Donut" post his Zenith collection.

Zenith and GP are superior to the others listed. I prefer Zenith though.

I think this is stunning, its a "remake" of the classic a386, and at 38mm is a smaller version of the striking 10th.



stunning!!!

they just dont have a solid service network.
....hard to beat jlc. .... Zenith is great...jlc better in my opinion... Especially if you pick up a resale as they don't seem to hold on to thei value despite being watches of premier quality....
