Anyone think the new Zenith chronomaster open is worth buying ? It’s 10k MSRP.

I prefer the closed version. I’ve had the original and the slightly larger 42 with date at 6. I don’t personally like skeletonized or open heart dials.

The caseback though…

Zenith are great watches. It's essentially the El Primero with its dress lifted a little. If the design speaks to you, go for it.

Depends on what “worth buying” means to you? Is it a well built and designed watch, with a legendary movement that will last you ages? Absolutely hell yes. Worth the 10K.

Will it retain its value/go up in value? Likely not - other than a few key exceptions, Zenith does not do as well as other brands in the secondary market (warranted or not). Plus open heart designs tend to be polarizing. I’d try and get a discount upon purchase but not sure if discounts are easy for new models.

Me too! Absolutely love that watch

I like the classic Chronomaster original and it’s on my list to buy someday. This is a great model as well if you like the skeleton look

I'll get this over the standard. A Zenith has been on my list for a while and I love to watch the movement work.

Not a fan the skeleton - I like the OG

I prefer the Original version.

Hot take incoming: skeleton dials remind me of Sturhling or other cheap watches

If you’re really looking for skeleton dials, I think the Zenith defy range offers some pretty unique designs! I like the chronomaster original 38 the with closed dial face a lot more than this one

Anybody have any experience with Spinnaker Watches? i saw them at the Wind Up watch fair in NYC yesterday and liked what I saw.

So, I bought my husband a Tudor BB 58 in blue for his birthday and he hated it. He says it doesn’t have the date and that bothered him tremendously 😑. Now he needs to exchange the watch for something else. What type of watch should he consider next? Maybe back to Breitling ? I am so frustrated. I did so much research on this watch !

I really like this look and thinking about buying but talk me out of it. Feel like IWC has so many different watches, there’s a surplus in store, it’s bronze not gold, and may not hold its value like Rolexes do. What do you think? Is it worth it.

Brand new to the bowl. Looking at getting my fiancé his first nicer watch as wedding gift when we get married next year. I’m trying to stick around $7k, but would go to $10k.

Newbie question. When you see watches on display in window shops can you actually just walk in and purchase them? E.g. I’ve heard before that you need to be approved to buy a Patek.

I know you can do it for brands like Omega, but wondering if you can also just walk in and buy a Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, A Lange Sohne, etc. without knowing the dealer beforehand.
