Pull trigger on Zenith?

Hey guys,

I'm checking out a Zenith Grande Chronomaster Grande Date this weekend. I am also looking at the Open and Moonphase models. 45mm, stainless case, El Primero in house movement, silver dial, on strap. What are your thoughts?

From my research, I can get 40% off MSRP. Prices just went up today too, big time bummer!

40% off sounds about right for a Zenith. If you like it, go for it. I personally prefer the Defy series. Just be aware that resale is fairly soft on Zeniths.

Thanks Ara. Yea, I'm aware of the resale values for Zenith's. I'm planning on keeping it as a dressy watch.

You coming to Yuzu?

I picked one up a month ago for 5800 (with the stainless band). I love it, but be aware that:

1) There's no Luminox on it, so you can't read it at night.
2) Between the hour, minute, timer second, and reserve de marche hands, it takes a little concentration to actually tell the time.

These annoyed me at first, but I got used to them, and there's no doubt it's a captivating watch to just sit and watch (as in observe).

Congrats on the recent purchase. I am going to look at them again this weekend and then make up my mind.
