I'm not a fan. It's too "busy" for my liking.

I have my opinions but what do you think.

A thing of beauty or is it the mother of all ugly watches

I've had it on my wrist many times - would have bought it if the price were better. Even with the big discounts currently available it's still a lot of money for what it is.

Maybe it comes off differently in person but assymmetry is always hard to pull off from a design perspective. Also, I could do without the stars on the bezel, the turbine motif, the carbon fiber center, the huge crown protector, the orange hands...

My verdict...fugly.

As I've said on the other thread, I don't think it's ugly at all........ BUT it does look too much like a Casio G-Shock on steroids for me to entertain one. I love a hell of a lot of the Zenith range, but the Extreme range is too OTT for me. Still not ugly though.

I don't think it's ugly at all. I like it a lot, and some of the Stealth versions even more so.

Looks like something from the "Transformers" . What does it turn into? A helicopter? Maybe a belt buckle?

I don't think it's ugly but I wouldn't categorise it as beautiful either :mrgreen: Definitely striking and growing on me each time I look at it.

At the risk of occurring splinter damage from all this fence sitting I clairfy that if the price was right I would be happy to wear!

I wouldn't say its ugly, but not my style... I have to say some of their other pieces are very nice though. At least to me. To each his own. :D

it's an interesting "concept" watch to me, not ugly at all...but i can see how the zenith old-school crowd were screaming for nataf's head. i'm paying close attention to the zenith line currently.

I love it! Anyone one bought one & don't like it, feel free to give it to me...

The days of over the top Zenith is over though. Just read this in WOW Singapore #17:
