·I like this one, though only speaking after seeing the photos as never saw that in real. I don't mind the resemblence to Royal Oak, in fact I am more intrigued about the execution of this watch, especially the dial. Also i think it is quite refreshing to see it being available to purchase online at any time. However 8k is A LOT. So, back to execution and the meed to see it in real life.

·Compared to a 41mm Royal Oak this is a compelling value.
I’m going to try and see one in living colour this weekend. I live it in photos.

·Certainly see the similarities, but to my eye still has enough of it's own personality for it not to be a knock off. That said, that 10 second dial would likely be novel at first but I suspect would get annoying. The dial in general is gorgeous . Certainly nothing like the Patek or AP in it's texture. Does it have the cantilever indices? Going to a Zenith AD next month and hope to see one in the flesh.

·Kidding aside, Revolution did a rather good article back in September about the reemergence of the integrated bracelet sports watch segment - which included this rather nice timeline
It makes quite a lot of sense that Zenith would give this segment its attempt, and the Defy seems the right line for it.
I note that Revolution’s infographic timeline even had one blank spot left…
It seems Revolution forgot to clear 2 more spots for @Darlinboy `s Zenith Defy and the IWC Da Vinci both debuting in 1969 !!

·I like it and would consider if in max 38mm and around £4.5k
It’s slightly to big and slightly to expensive

·Nice watch but too much ap for me. Also don't like the bracelet because it tapers too much.

The Titanium predessor Defy tapers to 18mm at the clasp, which is not to thin i would say, and with integrated case links that may look like a lot of taper but it follows the shape - nothing to dramatic. And the Defy A3642 with integrated bracelet and octagonal bezel was introduced in 1969.... so the AP looks like a Zenith to be fair.

·Don’t like it so much.. Too big and too thick.. Maybe because I bought “old defy” and still love it…

·The Titanium Defy is great at 10.8 mm. Otherwise Bvlgari is your only salvation..
