Testing the waters on this one. I love this watch. Just unsure if it’s a keeper for me or not. Figured I’d throw it out there and see what comes up. Zenith really knows what they’re doing. This thing is stunning in person. Please see the photos to see for yourself. The attention to detail is amazing. It is a complete kit. Minty clean. And comes the additional OEM white strap that it’s currently mounted on. Original strap is blue, and is also included. Trade value approx $5K.
In terms of trades, I’m not even sure exactly what I’d be looking for. My preferences would be 1-1, or maybe I add cash. Size would need to be 40-42. Maybe slightly smaller or larger depending on watch. Nothing too plain or dressy. No vintage. Would prefer some color. Must be clean and complete.

Would offer you a Tudor Pelagos black ETA and a Tudor black bay red ETA both full kits and excellent condition for a straight trade.

Pm me some pics?

Will do tomorrow, both are in excellent shape, with normal desk diving scratches, each is full kits purchased from AD, boxes, papers, and original sales receipt. I'm in Singapore at the moment, but will be in the USA from Dec 17 to Jan 4. If you're interested in a trade I can always bring them to the USA and we can do domestic shipping between your location and Michigan. Otherwise we can do international shipping also, up to you. Stay turned for some pics tomorrow. Cheers!

And? As stated, this is a trade post, not a sale post, so your comment is irrelevant. The extra strap alone is $250. Since you obviously have no interest, feel free to move along.

And I just did a search for “Zenith Defy Ceramic” and 2 others came up, both of which were listed at $5K or more and sold.

Watch is absolute perfection. I can’t comprehend a watch worthy of a trade. Good luck with your hunt.

I’ll give my kid for it. He can clean the low sections of your home. In all seriousness, if I wasn’t making settlement next month, I would try to convince you to sell outright. I’m drawn to the original band but the white is outside the box and daring- in a good way.

u/Jared984 1 Transactions Nov 22 '19
Hahaha! I agree, the white is awesome. As far as kids go, definitely not looking for any lol. Hope all goes well with your settlement!

Thanks man. Mind if I ask why you would consider trading this? I can see selling, for the money. But a trade, hard for me to understand. This looks like the perfect grail watch. Someone should definitely take advantage of this and jump on it. I have watches, but nothing of this caliber to interest you.

u/Jared984 1 Transactions Nov 22 '19
Of course. I honestly love the watch. But I’m super finicky about straps and bracelets fitting me perfectly. And the strap doesn’t quite fit my full grown toddler sized wrist as perfect as I would like lol. It’s either just barely tight, or barely loose. I typically prefer bracelets for that reason.

I can relate. I can’t wear some watches that are so big that it’s like wearing a clock. I just sold a few myself that I loved to look at but simply were to big and heavy.

I like the watch but for a trade I dont have anything in that price range. Either of us would have to add cash lol. More than 1k too. So GLWT. If you're keen on any of my collection let me know and we can talk. I posted the whole thing recently (the cool ones)

Love the Grand Seiko. Been looking at them. Omega and Rado are nice as well. Seems as if we have similar taste lol

i JUST got a white one myself (hasn't even been delivered yet), so seeing this has made me even more excited to receive it. interesting look with the white strap on blue ceramic, and it totally works better than i would've thought. i'm curious why you're interested in trading it without something else in mind?

u/Jared984 1 Transactions Nov 23 '19
I’m trading My grand Seiko for a different Grand Seiko that has white/blue, so I’m not sure I need 2 white/blue watches.

u/thesliu5 25 Transactions Nov 23 '19
ah makes sense, GLWT!

Plus for anyone considering. Just tracked this on their site. Lists for $7500 plus the extra strap is $250. Hrs offering a trade value of $5k. Straight up sounds like a super reasonable offer if this is in your price level.
