jameo210369 0 Posted October 24, 2009 Great pics Novesh, 60mm Radiomir is too big for my wrists. I love the Zenith but the cheapest I have found is around $490 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted October 24, 2009 Look great! As I mentioned, I have a Big Egi on the way - although I went for the 'vintage' version rather than the standard one. I keep looking at the defy - still not quite made up my mind whether it's my kinda thing or not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jameo210369 0 Posted October 24, 2009 Greg the white dial Zenith Defy is stunning, I want one so bad. Hopefully I will get Sharon to buy me one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice Zenith, if it wouldn't be PVD - would be even better. Serious watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love the Zenith but the cheapest I have found is around $490 yea it wasn't cheap, but I don't care, the watch is aweessommmmeeeee. though the bracelet is a lot of work to be done (maybe i'll just buy a gen bracelet). The watch though is superb quality. The big egi my wife looked at it and laughed...haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually like it more in PVD, the SS version is just too..."blah" if you get what I mean...I tried on both the gens and WOW, these watches are awesome.

jameo210369 0 Posted October 24, 2009 Not sure what version Greg has ordered but at 60 mm that is a lot of stainless steel. Where did you get the Zenith Defy Novesh?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted October 24, 2009 Did you see that jacksontse has a sterile version already? http://www.jacksontse.com/mm150.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jameo210369 0 Posted October 24, 2009 Yes Doc, I saw her the other day, she is stunning but still to big for my wrist. Luthier I know you can get the Zenith Defy for $380 from trusty time but I am after the Defy Extreme DLC all the sites I have checked list her around $490. http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_pag...roducts_id=4643 House of souvenirs have it for $448, they look the same not to sure about the chrono spacing http://www.houseofsouvenirs.com/zenith/zenithswiss_012.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted October 24, 2009 You guys gotta post wrist shots. But not if your wrist is less than 7.5" (21-22 cm) because I might laugh myself to death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jameo210369 0 Posted October 24, 2009 I'm a big man Doc, just short of 6ft and 15 stone but 60mm is still big even on my wrists. Are you the Hulk in disguise Doc?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted October 24, 2009 I'm 6'5" but my wrist is 22cm; way too small for that behemoth. I'm wearing my 49mm Big Bang King today and it's plenty big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jameo210369 0 Posted October 24, 2009 Your 6' 5" Doc, I agree with everything the Doc says from now on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a 7.5" wrist, but I suspect it's gonna be way too big. Gotta try it, though - just love the look of the thing. If it doesn't get worn I can either turn it into a table clock or sell it on.

Novesh 0 Posted October 24, 2009 The big egi is plenty big, I don't know how much of wrist-time it will see, but I am sure I'll wear it a little bit. The zenith though...I am really loving it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfa437 0 Posted October 24, 2009 I'm 6'6" and 250-260 pounds with 7 3/4" and I think I'm gonna be pushing the limits on watch size with the 60mm. When I take my pics I'll be wearing my flight suit and Nomex gloves with the Egi OVER all that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted October 24, 2009 I really do think the Egi is just toooo big for daily wear or to be taken seriously. If it looks big on Sly Stallone (who's been pic'd on here with one on) then it's too big for us mere mortals! lol WhyTF did the Egyptian Navy (or whoever it was) get it commissioned so big?? Random... The Zenith looks good quality but I'm sorry, I still don't 'get' it. I just don't think they're a particularly attractive watch, and especially not at that price! Sorry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry I don't think most people will "get it" but I am fine with that. Its the old stance on watches, I mean look at rolex, it took them almost a decade to make a watch that's bigger than 43mm...that says something about people and their tastes...

Luthier 1 Posted October 25, 2009 I'm 6'2", 192 lbs, 8" wrist, and my favorite size of watch is 43-45mm. Dove can ask for other dimensions... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phaedo 0 Posted October 25, 2009 WhyTF did the Egyptian Navy (or whoever it was) get it commissioned so big?? Would assume it is because they wear them over the diving suit, so something that size isn't really that big when your 'wrist' is 9 inches thick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dreadnought 0 Posted October 25, 2009 I think people are forgetting something here; The ol' $380 Defy was the PVD-coated 21.6 bph version with incorrect spacing and wasn't known for any accuracy whatsoever (Look at where it says "For X treme Condition Use")...the new one is titanium (!), DLC coated (!!), with a 28.8k bph 7750 with way better spacing of the turbines (helical disks). The way it should have been made. If you get one of these for less than 450 bucks, you're gettin' a steal. Luthier: All the Defy Xtreme Chronograph's cases were Black Titanium, with the exception of 2 versions of the Defy Xtreme Stealth series: the basic Stealth and the Stealth Grande had the bare titanium versions, on top of the black ones...
