Zenith super rep. Does one exist?

Hi all,

Been down the Zenith rabbit hole over the last few days. I know the pilot is listed on the NWBIG B list, but from the TDs I've chatted with, not many making Zenith reps right now that are any good. I was hoping for the Elite 150th anniversary watch but they're out of production.

Doesn't look like the El Primero has been repped well either. Anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Pilot extra special is super duper rep. Here's mine, the small version.
A while ago there was defy extreme series which was super rep but not popular even with TDs fire sale.

Thanks guys,

I'll have to check these out as it looks like the only available rep that's a super rep. The only annoying thing is that large crown, but I'm sure I'd get used to it.

Thanks again for the advice and pictures.

Its a pilots watch so the large crown is standard. I'd only buy it if you like it. If you buy only because it's a good rep then you'll just end up flipping.

Wise words and appreciated. I'm tempted only due to its super rep status, not due to loving the watch. Maybe I'll pass on Zenith till I find an Elite second hand.

Hello,
Is it difficult to make a clone of the Zenith chronograph ? We often see the 7750 but it is very thick...

I would be interested in a Zenith Elite 6150 150th Anniversary Edition. Trusty has it listed in the Shop, but cannot source it. Does anyone have the watch and can tell me its source?

I know it has been a while, but, would you mind telling me where you ordered this from. I have only seen one site and its not a TD. This is one of my favorite watches of all time!

I am certainly a fan of the Type 20 (Chrono in bronze for me).. I wish that they would make a good Chronomaster Sport someday. Love the watch but the rep has too many big tells to make me pull the trigger at this point.
