    I have tried on a lot of Zenith in Weirs, so if you buy one there its likely been worn by a good few shoppers. Or you could get one half price on the second hand market. Zenith are beautiful watches, long history, very well made. However they tank on the secondary market. And second hand you will get the exact same watch at 40 to 50 percent less than retail.

    In watches, there is no great advantage to a new watch (there are a few exceptions to this, but they are few and far between). As soon as you put it on, its worn and any imperfection in a older watch can be removed with a service for a reasonable fee.

    Which model are you after? There is a open heart on adverts at the moment for 4k https://www.adverts.ie/dress/zenith-el-primero-chronomaster/21104935 the new price is 8800 on that watch.

    What Fitz said Blub. No way in hell would I spend hard earned on a new Zenith.* Never mind that while all luxury watches are "overpriced" Zenith didn't even bother to hide this gouging when about 8 or 10 years back they upped the prices of all their watches across the range for no reason save to milk customers. And like Fitz also notes they(like 90% of brands) make depreciation on a new car look like profit.

    Zenith make some lovely watches and have one hell of a history, one that blows the doors off many fancier brands on a few levels, but I'd definitely go second hand buying one. Better the money in your pocket in my humble.






    *Or most brands.

    Zenith elite moon phase is on my radar.

    Def wouldn’t entertain retail.

    Not watches that come up for sale much in ROI.

    Suspect the like of watchfinder or any dealer would be open to offers on their Zeniths.

    50-60 percent of RRP is where you need to be buying at to not take a bathe entirely second hand.

    But if it’s a special purchase ....then I suspect a lot of ADs will give 20 percent off. Could be a good time to ring Weirs who I assume are doing a click and collect service and would entertain a decent discount on an out of demand model.

    If this came out a few weeks ago I would have been really tempted…

    https://www.watchfinder.co.uk/Zenith/Defy/95.9001.9100/78.R920/48653/item/171525?searchId=c06bde9c-89e6-4569-97fa-c372722cdda2&rank=1

    Rrp of 18000 I believe - 2020 so almost new and down to 9900 euro already…

    Ouch - high price point to be making the open heart mistake

    There is the same one on Watchfinder for about 3500 euro, so that one might be optimistic. I get you though, the open heart things symmetry is jarring to me, but some people like the design, and the open heart at the 9 oclock is a very zenith trademerk.
