Zenith Academy: Georges Favre-Jacot?

Aug 12, 2024,19:42 PM
 

Does anyone own this watch with the fusee and chain? They trade at a huge discount from the original MSRP, and seem like a lot of watch for the money. In particular I love the idea of getting a visible fusee and chain mechanism from a major brand for a very reasonable amount...


A few things I'm curious about:

1. How is the sizing of the TI model (pic attached)? Does it wear big or small?
2. Any issues with reliability?

For less than the price of a standard Royal oak and only ~$8k more than what a daytona goes for, it seems like a very overlooked reference lol

I too, can’t recall this one… only the dressier one.

Still, I can’t help but think of the possibilities of this watch if you let Rexhep (or whoever you regard as having a high level of taste) design the dial, hands and case.

True

It’s a few tweaks away from being much better looking
