Very impressive, but probably not wearable

I've actually watched a Youtube video in which a man from Zenith was talking about it. He had it on his wrist and it actually seemed pretty wearable to me!

Fabulous piece of haute horlogerie indeed!

VN!

I'm not fan of most of Zenith's designs, but this one is pleasing to look at for me.

like 99.999% of all the watches it will drop ofcourse but I have the impression Zenith is doing better and better. Also in resale.
5 years ago watches like the defy were easy to get with a HUGE discount, today this changed. I don't see excessive discounts and secondhand value is more than acceptable.

Besides, even a steel Rolex submariner or a Panerai 111 drops 30% without problem. Most watches became too expensive too fast and the gap between new and used is bigger than ever before.
And the once so overhyped steel daytona which used to have a 30% premium ABOVE list can now ( used) be found at 30% UNDER list
