Very cool. Sometimes things don’t work right, but the telling part of this is that they stood behind their product and made it right. I give props to Zenith.
I do agree with you about your Zenith pilot. Nice watch. I hope you can get all the issues taken care of. You want that baby running just right and I don't blame you.
I'm watching this while wearing my own Zenith Pilot in steel. I got to visit Watches and Wonders and sat down with Zenith to see their novelties. Their diver was the top release for me this year's W&Ws. Since I already have the black Pilot, I'm leaning more on the blue diver, although the black one has a bit of a classic look.
That Defy Skykine Chronograph is my new grail! I think it is the best looking chronograph on the market. In combination with the customer relations, history, etc. I think it’s just unbeatable 🤩. The triple calendar is amazing, too!
How has the strap (faux Cordura) been for you? I've read elsewhere that it comes apart easily on one side. Is it sturdy, in you opinion? Comfortable? Thanks for the follow-up review.
Thank you man. They called me this morning and I had a great conversation with the watchmaker. They are sending me a label to send back. The president of Zenith emailed me and said if there is no quick resolution they will send me a new one. I’m not sure of any other company that would do that. 😊😊🤙🤙
@@talkingtimepieceswithtony congratulations tony , that's because you didn't bad mouth them and we're humble, you deserve it for the way you behaved mate..,.,like I said a gent all the best from the UK 👍
thats really good to hear … at this price its really tough to pull the trigger.. I love the watch but have heard they aren’t the most accurate watches .. given it’s the same price as many Rolex I love, and I still need more Rolex .. I can’t bring myself to pull the trigger
Thanks Tony! Great video! I am obsessed with getting a Zenith pilot, got tiny wrists though, 6”, it looks great on you, whats your wrist size? Do you think my wrist can pull it of?
@@jchong416 well, I can’t do it all of the time. I won’t be able to buy anything for a while unless I sell something. But I get it. Thank you for your comments.
I wasn’t the biggest zenith fan and I was deadset on buying the Iwc ingenieur , but could not justify the 11,700 price tag since it has the mark xx movement so I narrowed my choice down to gp laureato and zenith defy. Today I decided to pick up the zenith defy in 36mm . I absolutely love my plain Jane defy
Zenith is having some teething issues with these new EP movements. My Chrono Original and Sport both have the hr register move without the chronograph activated. My blue skyline was running slow. Still love the brand. Traded the original in for the new triple calendar and swapped out the blue skyline to the silver dial. Kept the Sport and will get it repaired.
Hey man. Sorry to hear about those issues. I have been in contact with them and I am waiting on a call from the head of service. They are going to take care of it.
@@cyan0xide so you would rather have shitty customer service than good customer service? 🙄 their watches work fine. Just having an issue with mine. The Defy Skyline has the exact movement and it runs great. This is not common for Zenith. I literally just got off the phone with them.
@@talkingtimepieceswithtony These are still relatively new movments and complicated ones at that so problems are to be expected. I dont doubt they will sort this out, if they havent already.
Very cool. Sometimes things don’t work right, but the telling part of this is that they stood behind their product and made it right. I give props to Zenith.
Yes. They called me this morning and I had a great conversation with their watch maker, it’s already boxed and ready to ship. 😊🤙🤙
Stunning Zenith
🤙🤙
hey Tony!.....would love to see a video of the Pilot with your range of straps!.....seems like this one could be a strap beast!
It is! Thanks. 🤙🤙
I do agree with you about your Zenith pilot. Nice watch. I hope you can get all the issues taken care of. You want that baby running just right and I don't blame you.
Thanks man. I just got off the phone with them and the watch is already boxed up to ship back to them. Amazing service. 😊😊🤙🤙
@@talkingtimepieceswithtony Thats excellent. I would want that watch running a tiny bit fast. I hope you get it where you want it.
Nice review Tony you are tipping me over the edge to get a zenith for my collection. Thanks.
Thanks man. You should! 😂😂🤙🤙
The green dial triple calendar is 🔥
I agree! 🤙🤙

That’s awesome man. I agree, the black is more classic, plus more versatile if you want to change color straps.
Hey, just out of curiosity, why didn't you go for the ceramic in black?
@@keitha.1888 I don't like ceramic. I much prefer the brushed steel look.
I love that Zenith on the rubber strap… really cool, man. And unique! Love the videos, brother. Hope your back is better.
Thanks man! Always appreciate it. Back feels okay. Had epidural yesterday. 🤙🤙
Another excellent video Tony about watches and this one on Zenith…! Love that Zenith pilot you have Tony…! 5 STARS ✨ Greg
Thank you, Greg. The Pilot is on its way back to Zenith now. I talked to them today. They are going to take good care of it.
Wow that triple calendar is 👌
Agreed! Can’t wait to try it on the leather strap. 🤙🤙
That Defy Skykine Chronograph is my new grail! I think it is the best looking chronograph on the market. In combination with the customer relations, history, etc. I think it’s just unbeatable 🤩. The triple calendar is amazing, too!
That Defy is definitely the top of my list as well. Of course the Triple Calendar is absolutely amazing! 🤩
That defy chrono was my favorite release of the year- with the Cartier dual time coming in 2nd. Don’t have a zenith yet would love to someday!
I love them both. 😊😊🤙🤙

I’ll add that to my Q&A. 🤙🤙
Love Zenith. Want to buy a new watch but I like so many different brands and funds are limited and it’s driving me nuts on the choices
Hope you find what you love! 😊🤙🤙
Im seriously considering zenith pilot however ceramic or steel. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
I prefer steel. It’s up to you what you like.
It shows character tony that you don't hold any bad feeling towards the brand even though it's not running correctly..,.....you sir are a gentleman,👍

Thanks man. I have a 6.5 inch wrist. You should check it out at your AD.
Will you go for the ceramic?
@@keitha.1888 i am going for the stainless steel, like how it looks better
You're living the dream rockstar Tony
lol, I wish. 😊🤙🤙
I mean living the dream. 😂😂
@@talkingtimepieceswithtony you can buy nice watches at the drop of a hat. I wish I could do that!
@@jchong416 well, I can’t do it all of the time. I won’t be able to buy anything for a while unless I sell something. But I get it. Thank you for your comments.

Wooooooooooooooo 👍🍺🌍 🌮

Diver or pilot watch, which one do you prefer? 😅😅 I have got the Defy Skyline Skeleton and one of the watch will be my next one.
I’ll add that to the Q&A. 🤙🤙
I'm trying to NOT buy this watch lol. Tried it on yesterday super nice piece!
It’s an amazing watch man. 🤙🤙
If they release one in a green dial, I would get it.
@@hongsitu3429 me too!
The new defy chronograph is a beautiful watch, I can’t get past that it looks like there taking design cues from the AP Royal Oak
Other way around. Zenith came out with the bezel design several years before Genta designed the Royal Oak. I actually mentioned it in the video.
How much time gain/loss per day is normal/acceptable for the Zenith Pilot Automatic?
Hey man. Good question. I’ll add to the Q&A. 🤙🤙
Dodecagon
Yeah, that’s it. Thank you. I was having one of those moments. 😂😂 thank you man.

yeah who cares how nice they are if their products have problems. I'd rather them be mean to me and their watch work

@@cyan0xide you might be a smart person but your logic confounds me.
@@talkingtimepieceswithtony These are still relatively new movments and complicated ones at that so problems are to be expected. I dont doubt they will sort this out, if they havent already.
I’ve heard Zenith has had to change the movement because of all the warranty claims on the new pilot
That is incorrect.
