I bought this watch 3 months ago an absolutely stunning piece of high Horology

[@mostafaelshazly9611]

Most underrated brand.

[@yurikostin6172]

This watch is pure state of art

[@WatchAdvice]

Yuri Kostin yep agree 🙂

[@jmmartin7766]

Omg, I have never really cared for 'skeletonized' watches-- until now... And they just *had* to make it in blue... My favorite color...

[@WatchAdvice]

J Michael Martin haha isn’t it great?

[@VictorAngelov]

The watch itself is stunning. The work that you've put to create videos is also stunning. The B-rolls, the micro and tiny details, amazing and imo this channel deserve a lot more views and subscribers. My recommendation is not to put the price at the end of the video (if this is not main idea), but to list the prices when you give all products. I know that there're links in the description, but just looking to recommendations to make the perfect review and video. I'm gonna definitely subscribe and looking up-to other uploads from this channel. Wish you all good and best. P.S : I was here for the G-shok 21 series, my kind of watches, but the videos was killers :)

[@WatchAdvice]

Victor Angelov thank you so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it. Thank you for believing in us 😊

[@garyggarner7738]

Beautiful! Awesome Engineering! Love it! Outstanding job on producing your video! I enjoy you are quick to demonstrate and describe the features of every watch you review! I like your videos - please keep them coming!!

[@WatchAdvice]

Gary G Garner thank you so much, it means a lot

[@TetrixJ]

actually just purchased the ceramic version of this watch on bracelet. Its not the only mechanical movement with 1/100th sec capability though, TAG Heuer did it and surpassed it back in the 2000s with the Mikrograph.

[@jeremyrice3719]

Well done video. This watch is insanely cool and you highlighted its many strengths. It really does have a mesmerizing dial, I love the case, the … I’ll stop. Zenith is my favorite brand and this is just another reason why.

[@walterking5453]

A great show really enjoyed to see more from to see more from Zenit

[@DougE.phresh]

Not sure if this type of watch would ever be on my radar, however the movement is very impressive, I'd go for the titanium on black rubber for sure

[@WatchAdvice]

Kennedy for President good choice

[@wagyubeef925]

This is definitely my next watch in black

[@alisterquinny4767]

This watch is the most unique watch because of the mechanism

[@WatchAdvice]

Alister Quinny yep it’s very cool

[@sageerkhan1852]

I like the way you are talking about this watch...😱❤️

[@RP-em8sd]

Great video, love it. Thank you! I own another Zenith, the Captain Winsor Annual Calendar Chronograph and love it.

[@shandonburney7797]

Debating if this will be my next Watch. I try to purchase a new one every year. This will be next years watch if I decide to pull the trigger. Love the rubber strap and the brushed/ polished titanium is gorgeous. I’m also liking the Hublot style the watch carries. Oh and did I mention that sexy movement....

[@WatchAdvice]

Shandon Burney are you still debating or going to get it? 😉

[@myke.p]

El Primero is one of the best!

[@WatchAdvice]

Mike Parmar Yep. It’s a stunner

[@contaygious]

Amazing video and review style. Have you seen the ceramic one? Subscribed

[@einfussganger]

Great review! 2:06 For such an expensive watch, I wish they would have skipped putting a decal under the dial (Zenith El Primero 21). Also the decal for CHRONO POWER RESERVE is not straight (not vertically centered on the bridge).

[@miguellourenco9799]

Great video! Keep up the great work and the subscribers number will sky rocket!

[@nw9592]

Again, superb Video!

[@WatchAdvice]

AP RO thank you so much 😊

[@bungerroyale112]

Perfect review, sums up this watch fantastically

[@steveantson9608]

I just found this channel. Glad I did.

[@kennethchia4517]

I love this watch always been thinking about getting one. But was torn between this or the defy classic skeleton. Always thought this might be too big for my 16cm wrist but thanks man your video gave me some confidence that this oversize monster could be tamed

[@SunitaSharma-xt4bh]

Hi,I like this video well done, I hope you find greater success

[@WatchAdvice]

Sunita Sharma thank you so much 😊

[@craigrees7939]

2:03 dust on the second hand

[@Macm73]

Ha ha, eagle eyes 👍, still wouldn't put me off this watch 😁

[@Macm73]

Great video 👍

[@mdo5121]

just subscribed. good content

[@BattleForTheHotel]

great video. I love it.

[@joshcrosson]

Isn't the idea of a rotor not to be balanced?

[@Pain87Killer]

this is a masterpiece!

[@almeladze]

I put it on a black rubber. IMHO, it looks better because the blue on the bracelet is tooo loud

[@raygacy]

Wow this is really nice!

[@almeladze]

at 5:46 - re rotor because it's made of a special alloy that helps inertia

[@powerplay.556]

the only thing stopping me from buying this watch is no hacking seconds. I've read that it's highly accurate but how do you even set it accurately and then check it? Really bothers me.

[@almeladze]

@@powerplay.556 Sydney Rooster, it does have hacking seconds. It just has a 3 pointed hand instead of a normal seconds indicator

[@powerplay.556]

@@almeladze so how do you set the time accurately, followed by checking the accuracy of the watch a day or two later using the 3 piece propellor hand? Answer is you can't. Thanks for your reply.

[@almeladze]

@@powerplay.556 once you hack and align one of the points of the 3 pointed hand to 0, then align mins to whatever minute you need on the dot. Once you release the movement, you're zeroed out. Checking would be done via mins hand with approximation of seconds (I concede here but look at the dial!). if you want you can always get a non-skeleton version of this - it has regular running small seconds. it's less beautiful and more practical. Plus it's cheaper too. But you're giving up the pleasure of observing the mechanism for the sake of checking... It's like complaining that a Ferrari couldnt race on a country road if you needed to. not exactly the purpose, if you know what i mean but to each his own.

[@powerplay.556]

@@almeladze thanks but I don't understand. You also refer to starting the movement, which means I would need the power reserve to zero out before setting time and checking accuracy. Seems all too hard. Call me old fashioned, but a watch needs a seconds hand, particularly one which markets itself on accuracy.

[@rintujose7253]

Nice....

[@tuglu4855]

Am i seeing things or is there dust inside the watch?

[@maxs.637]

Great video ! Very good choice the Zenith Defy !

[@WatchAdvice]

Max S thank you 😊

[@benklowatch9586]

very very nice

[@WatchAdvice]

Benklo Watch thank you 😊

[@TheBossEntrepreneur]

By 4:00 in the video all I want to know is the price see if I can afford it lol!

[@WatchAdvice]

The Boss Entrepreneur haha

[@PepeDeezNutz]

Woooooo!

[@mrdan26261]

❤❤❤❤

[@lipinglin1994]

I have a small wrist around 15.6cm. I am wondering if this watch will wear comfortably for a guy with a small wrist like me.

[@martinbull4915]

Is it too flashy for university, should I get the defy classic skeleton instead? I can get this for £7000 and the classic for £4000

[@WatchAdvice]

Martin Bull get the one you love and if you love it then you can rock it at University too

[@WatchAdvice]

Martin Bull get the one you love and if you love it then you can rock it at University too 😊

[@jcbsplace]

When’s your next video dropping?

[@boltup_619]

Isn't the bulova precionist the most accurate chronograph? 🤔

[@arupkumarchanda3302]

OMG 18000 AUD

[@MrAlexjbrooker]

Great camera, really shows up some of the blemishes! Look at the rust at 4.13!

[@orisfanboy2729]

where would that be?

[@jimmyjay122]

I don’t think that is rust. It’s more likely a reflection of those 2 yellow pins on an unpolished surface

[@dpsinghyadav]

I have the terrorist watch and could not get it's broken band replaced. Still, I am watching this video. These Corona lockdowns are creating hallucinations.

[@GodfreyMann]

Yet another watch ‘expert’ who doesn’t know the difference between ‘accuracy’ and ‘precision’. This watch is one of the world’s most ‘precise’ chronographs in its ability to measure 1/100th sec, but we’ve no idea as to how accurate it is because she didn’t give us any figures and I can’t find any published data. Does anyone know how accurate this watch is?

[@philipjanes]

Nice review but too rich for my blood.

[@WatchAdvice]

Philip Janes thank you

[@StephanoHamez]

Great review BUT not my cup of tea ☕️

[@WatchAdvice]

Steve James thanks Steve, glad you liked the review. Out of curiosity, what are the things you don’t like about the watch?

[@almeladze]

Pushers are not easy to operate :) Chrono pushers misfire regularly! LOLOLOL

[@WatchAdvice]

Alexander Meladze I didn’t experience that over the 4 months I had it 🙂

[@almeladze]

@@WatchAdvice with me it also started a few months into the ownership but Zenith claims it is normal. I have no idea how this is normal if only a part of watches are experiencing this.

[@thomasm9697]

Wow you are so stunning is ridiculous

[@lounes3296]

I look this vidéo just for you you are beautiful

[@444slowitdown]

Its a cool and a work of art ! It is just not appealing and the design of the case and just the entire formation is wrong ..also it is too big even for men ..good luck too zenith i like the brand but i think they could of done better.. tnx and take care

[@WatchAdvice]

Ilija Stojanovski thank you for watching and for sharing your feedback.
