Incoming Impulse Buy - Zenith

Made the mistake of going into an AD while my wife and I were out shopping. I have been wanting something really different and fun to throw into the mix as a change of pace every now and then. I think that’s now covered with this Zenith Defy. Never would have guessed I would have liked this as much as I do.













The box this thing came in is crazy

A close friend of mine just picked one of these up with the blue dial and bracelet.

Have you ever felt the bracelet on these before? Absolutely incredible. Like silk, only lighter.

Yes I agree. This one only came on rubber but AD is ordering me a bracelet at cost.

That's superb man. Congrats! Good value for money if you ask me. Good pedigree, fine movement, exquisite styling all from a well respected manufacture.

That box is so impressive! One of the best I've seen so far.
