I like them, too
becuase I like stealthy black watches and I like Zeniths, and watches that look unique. The ones I like best are the Xtreme Air models with the more aggressive bezel, but also the Sea models because of the blue elements. Of these I like Open models best, well, I'm sure the tourbys aren't bad either either, but there are some great deals on the regular ones. The Grande Date models are also pretty awesome. If I had some money sitting around, I'd get one.

the good news for me, as i do like the defy, particularly the one you depict, is that the market's disdain for them means a good value in my opinion. and as the romans mights say, de gustibus non disputandum est! best wishes chris

You can still tell the time on both of the Audemars Piguets. The Zenith leaves you approximating. That's a deal breaker in my book. That said, I might get one of those Defy Xtremes if the price is ever low enough to buy one as a novelty. And it may yet be...

thanks for weighing in

i'm probably not sufficiently knowledgeable to appreciate the "satirical" aspects of the extreme. it certainly lived up to its name. i could appreciate that it was over the top for some. but on the right wrist, it had a pretty sharp esthetic. of course, t...

cuibono, Irrespective of personal opinions (all polite ones accepted), the sales figures during the Nataf-era were not bad at all. They coincided with the boom years of watch sales and people were trying to out-do each other with reckless abandon. Makers ...
