Gorgeous or grim?

I'm strangely undecided at the moment....
I should hate it, but.... I dunno.

Grim.

I don't like the style of the Defy Xtreme, but I do like the Defy classic!

OK, I'll concede - the Defy Xtreme is quite grim actually!

The Defy Xtreme is just that. Just too Xtreme for me. Zenith makes some very classy looking pieces. I wouldn't mind owning one someday.

I have to admit, its a cool watch.

I just have a problem with the Brand. Some years ago, they just raised the prices by app. 60% without changing the product.

As it always was a specialists brand, everyone was aware of that. And nobody bought them anymore. I had to get rid of them.

I'm not familiar with the brand, I've only seen a few up close.

I hope the quality of the watch is nothing like the televisions bearing the name Zenith......There used to be a company with the same name in the US that made televisions, which eventually moved their operation to Mexico and folded.

:lol:

Zenith do make some great watches. The Defy range is a bit of departure for them in terms of style as they are reasonably "old school" usually.

I must say, the old school style of Zenith's collection is very nice. They are growing on me.

That watch does not appeal to me but if you remember I was only one of two who liked the Bell & Ross.

I like the Zenith Classics... I originally liked them all, but after looking at the extremes a while I've started to find that they are too much. The open heart classic with white dial is not too much, but just enough I think.
