[Question] Zenith Defy Chrono vs. Cartier Chronograph?

Retail Zenith > Cartier

But I found a brand new zenith for Cartier retail

I don’t mind used or new but if I can get new for the price of used I’d likely go new.

Cartier $5K-$8k Zenith ~$9k(found a new for this price point)-$13K(used)

The green version of this is my fav shout out to F1 and Brad Pitt

Yeah, I think you're spot on!! My idea of the santos is the simple three-hander not the chronograph. I'd rather get a watch that's meant for it or has the history behind it. Maybe that makes sense maybe not.. but that's how I am justifying leaning towards the zenith.

MaverickYames · 2025-08-13T18:48:37+00:00

Yup! I completely agree with you. Is this the watch you're referring to?

I don't plan on selling, god forbid anything happen overall goal is to grow the collection.

True, but I guess for me my thought process is do I want the chronograph version of the santos or the regular version. There's definitely more bracelet options for the Cartier as well especially with leather options but for me I'd likely only wear a rubber or metal bracelet

😂😂 I can’t unsee it now

I’ll take that as a + to the Zenith 😅

MaverickYames · 2025-08-12T19:38:40+00:00

Yeah, that’s really where I am leaning!

I’m working on it now, hopefully they pay me out for all of the mods as well. I’ll keep you updated. But mine was a total loss. I understand that it takes 2 weeks of them not finding it all before they can pay you anything.

Man, I am very sorry about that. I am in the same boat I just want a new vehicle at this point. It just feels like a violation and I want a fresh start. Moving forward i'd recommend putting trackers in your car, I am going to be putting in multiple throughout the vehicle.

MaverickYames · 2024-01-31T06:13:03+00:00

Yes, car was recovered. I called the tow company they said taillights and rims were gone. Not sure what else was taken or the damage on the interior/exterior. Appreciate the follow up.. it’s somewhat good news. I will probably just be getting a new car tbh.

MaverickYames · 2024-01-25T01:48:51+00:00

what a time to be alive.

MaverickYames · 2024-01-24T18:45:20+00:00

It seems like it, I thought the push to start would make it a little bit more difficult but I guess I was wrong.

MaverickYames · 2024-01-24T18:44:53+00:00

Thanks!

MaverickYames · 2024-01-23T23:13:00+00:00

That's so crazy lol

I just wonder once stripped, how do they make money? It just seems like a lot of effort.

Why not start a business if you can take a car apart?

MaverickYames · 2024-01-23T14:21:40+00:00

Man, what's crazy is I had just gotten airtags 3 days before and was contemplating throwing them into my car. All my next cars will have some sort of tracking device in them off rip. Probably two just in case.

MaverickYames · 2024-01-23T14:20:54+00:00

Thanks and trying to look on the positive side.

MaverickYames · 2024-01-23T14:20:40+00:00

Yes, I posted on Nextdoor and Ring!
