Interesting picks. I actually like the look of the Credor, Genta aside. Reminds me of the Cartier Pasha. Sure, decisive, but something different. Cheers Rob! Happy holidays my friend 🙏
Surprised to see only one Bremont! You know I love them and own one, but OMG that Watches & Wonders set of releases was disastrous especially when you consider it was the big rebrand.
Well Bremont gets a lot of critique due to their Stone Island logo. The studio underdog collab with Moser might be called a passion fruit but in reality it is more like a black berry crumble pie dial!
I agree on everything except for maybe the GS. Will have to see them close up to have an opinion. The Credor however, that's definitely on the fugly side, Genta or not. The way the bracelet protrudes off the case, leaving 2 gaps on either side, looks like a kitbashing misadventure to me.
Rob I have the defy revival and I have to say I completely and totally disagree with you. I think the watch is absolutely perfect. The Stepped case makes the height of it not an issue. The size of it makes it a fun thing to throw on. For me with a watch box that’s filled with some decent stuff. It’s the one that I keep coming back to. And the price is honestly cheap when you compare it to most high-end divers out there (it has 600 m of water resistance) and it is probably the cheapest zenith in their entire lineup. You cannot get into that brand for less than 10K. And for what it’s worth I went to one of those watch me ups where people were walking around the room with six-figure watches on their wrists and everybody kept coming up to me to talk about it. I’m not particularly desirous of validation in my purchases, but it was pretty nice.
@ you are totally allowed to hate it. That’s the best things with this dumb passion of ours. As long as opinions doing come from a cynical position (which I sincerely believe you could never) than everyone is entitled to feel how they do! My biggest gripe is more about the price which I think is quite fair based on the specs, and the price that the brand operates from.
Imaginary challenge! Both sitting at the AD with that Defy having to defend our positions in front of an arbitrator. Post it on TH-cam. Best man wins! 😁
@ imaginary challenge accepted! Hopefully coming to the UK sometime in 25 and if I make my way to Manchester, I’ll be sure to reach out! Would be an absolute dream to do this!

Thanks Kieron. I'll fight you over that hideous Credor! 🤣
Merry Christmas to you, too!
Welcome home from SATX! I enjoy your content! Keep them coming. Cheers,
Thank you! And thanks for the support!
Look the video, thanks Rob. I totally agree with you on that Credor. That’s just horrendous!
Love watching your videos. You are spot on.
Thank you very much!
The Zenith is probably my favorite release in 2024. It’s absolutely stunning.
Okay, I commented too early. I disagree with almost every single watch except the Credor and the Grans Seiko trio.
The good thing about watches is that there is something for everybody!
I agree with some of your GS critique. But the red watch with the copper power reserve………wow!
Thanks for watching! Let me know what you think if you see it in person.
I really like the Zenith and the Credor is growing on me.

While I didn't think the W&W releases were great, the only active dislike for me at Bremont was for the Bamford.
@ I agree with the dislike of that Bamford Aurora model, which is funny as the previous model they did together in the blue was actually very cool.
I think I'm the only person in the world that likes the Bremont aurora 😂.
If it was a grand cheaper I'd get one.

Lmao you’re the man Rob, funny video 🤣
The Patek looks similar to my Cartier Santos.
The power reserve indicator on the Grand Seiko is an absolute disgrace.
It looks like skin that’s been peeled . Horrible.

You've made your case. I will search it out again and see if I misjudged that Defy. I appreciate your passionate defence. To be continued!

That would be a blast!
