My first pilot watch

After falling in love with this brand I wanted to add a piece to my collection. I also didn't have a pilot watch and this one is so understated while...

About to pull the trigger on a new Zenith Pilot, but is it reasonable?

Thank you!

I'll be honest I have a tough job. I can keep doing it for the money but I need a way to keep motivating myself and watches are pretty much the only way because I don't care for cars and I don't care for a big house. I'm still saving a good amount despite this potential purchase.

And I have investments that will only do well if things crash. So I'm like, might as well put some of the.money in watches since if things don't crash my watches will retain solid value, if they crumble due to the economy it means my investments are doing great lol

So in a way I create a positive spin on either scenario lol

I had bought a panerai from an AD who does zenith too in August. They could only do $6600 on the zenith + tax.

This AD is giving me $6200 including tax without any prior history with them..

This is not the type of watch I would be ok buying pre-owned due to two things:

1- The strap is a textile - I don't want someone else to have worn it

2- I love the display caseback and once you buy preowned that caseback is usually already a bit altered so that would remove a lot of the joy

Also I checked pre-owned for this model and they are more than I'm getting here lol.

Right 2 years wait sounds good to me lol.

Those waiting times are a great way to pace myself.

Especially since I have many more watches I want to get haha.

The AD also does rolex and will put me on a wishlist for a pepsi, and despite that still is giving me the zenith for 6.2k including tax. That's over 20% off relative to msrp.

I also really like how calm this watch makes me feel (very unique feeling).

It's more on the accumulation of purchases that I am like "what am I doing?" Lol

Which pilot watch to get at same price?

Guys, I am a bit torn. I like those 2 models a lot. I can get the zenith for same price as the Iwc. The iwc doesn't have an in-house movement but I find the look very cool. The zenith has a beautiful...

What do you think of those Omega Planet oceans?

I will be honest I prefer the one with white dial and orange bezel. Then split between limited edition and regular white one (those are 39.5mm). The b...

I tried this on today and I love this time piece. I think the design is flawless, calming, cool and perfect for what it's intending to be. However the...

Is there a risk of a watch on jomashop not being authentic or having parts that were replaced that are not from the watch's brand?

I'm considering buying a JLC Chrono on Jomashop. The price difference is material. I don't think the manufacturer warranty means much to me but I would not want to buy a fake watch or a watch that has...

Should I buy this JLC on the grey market?

Hi everyone, I love this watch but at $14k retail it's just way too high for a watch that resells around 9k used. I could maybe get at 12.6k at an AD....
