Zenith vs Glashütte Original

Both watch brands are favourites among collectors because they make many high-quality watches that can be found for competitive prices on the secondary market. Which brand do you like the most?

Two very different brands to compare and not a lot of crossover. It is like asking, “what do you like better a 911 or Urus?” Two totally different target audiences. Both are awesome at what they do. If I want a chrono? Zenith. Everything else? GO.

For me, GO wins simply for the movement and design aesthetic.

Different beasts but I’d go GO of the two but then again I like a dressier watch :)

I like cheese, and I like wine, but I'm not wondering about the alcohol content of the former and I'm certainly not trying to cut the other with a knife.

Tough one to vote on as ultimately it would come down to which model I was chasing, but I could see myself with a Zenith more realistically. El Primero Chrono would go down nicely 👌

As a long time Zenith owner I can say that their after sales service sucks in the US. For that reason I do not buy their watches anymore.

No vote for me.  Each has excellent models and I have purchased both.
