Hi fellow Purists,
The final decision on the Seiko SBGV215 has been made and I’m going to post it for sale, my Moonwatch has also departed leaving 2 CK2998s I’m pretty much happy with that on the Omega front.

I’m thinking another sports and have toyed with the idea of the Zenith Defy Classic which can be had for a great price especially preowned however I’m also leaning towards another Ingenieur. I had a black faced 3239 a few years back and it took a while to shift if I’m being honest but prices seem to be coming up a little. There is an outside bet of a cartier Drive Extra flat but out the 3 which would you choose and why.





















Fixed GS model number

Very much an opinion given with my heart as I love Zenith but in fairness they are back on top again and the current models are impressing many people. I say Zenith - you definitely have something different and something to talk about with pride. From mov... 

The Zenith Defy would be my pick 👌🏻

Love what the are doing with there defy line

Cartier super slim is a great choice(the regular Drive is so odd with its datewheel)

But i like Cartier more in PM which obviously out of the budget you wrote.

Agreed

I had the first generation which was to big but strap aside I do like the smaller extra flat but really only on RG. Have you seen the Tonneau announced yesterday - I could never pull it off not least afford it but the dual time is stunning

Not really an Omega fan TBH.

It’s a nice watch but if I went down that road is likely go SM300

Zenith all the way among proposed [nt]

I would go for the Cartier Drive. The Zenith is certainly nice and the titanium case is great in terms of lightness but I still prefer the Extra Flat of the Drive and not only because it lacks a date.

My vote goes to the Zenith openwork

which seems to be the most handsome of the bunch.
