I think the JLC master compressor series is fairly valued, they are just ugly watches from a period in which the brand was trying to fit in with the current trend, and ended up failing... If the watch is ugly people won't care about its above average movement quality.
I have the new Zenith Pilot and absolutely love it. I also have a JLC Master Compressor and it is wonderful too. The Zenith gets way more attention than the JLC, plus the easy change straps are great.
Love my zenith pilot flyback ceramic. I think it’s a cracking design and great complication set too. Flyback chronograph and big date. Not so bold it’s horrible to wear, lovely nods to its pilots heritage etc Each to their own.
Enjoy watching your videos.I am from Malaysia and would like to seek your advice before buying the Omega Racend Timer aka Omega Museum Collection No.8.This watch was offered to me by Omega Boutique in Kuala Lumpur.Looking forward to your response.
For the price of that Zenith Pilot you could get an Explorer that looks better or you can get an IWC Pilot that looks better and has historical significance for thousands less.
You're right Federico, the Zenith Pilot-line is really ugly not only the new ones but also the precedessor line was even uglier with the ultra large cathedral hands, meeehh, the Chronomaster line is THE REAL Zenith line I would consider to buy
Love you, Fed, but disagree on the Zenith Pilot. Have you held one? The ridges in the dial are really only visible in certain light and give the dial some character and the case finishing is great. The applied numerals and Zenith star really pop. I'm usually annoyed when people say that "photos don't do justice" to seeing a particular watch in person, but in this case, it's 100% true. Now, the aesthetic might just not be your thing and to each his own, but the watch is definitely not mehhhh!
Like many/most Zeniths, photos really don't do it justice. Then there's youtubers who always want every watch to check every box possible, which is just another reason the Zenith stands out.
I like the fact that it’s not so popular. This way, you won’t see it very often when you wear it. Crqzy that Fred thinks it’s Meh and even went as far to say ugly … that’s a wow.
Actually, he is Italian. But his family moved to Spain when he was about 10 years old if I remember correctly, and still lives there. He went to university in Wales. I have been watching Federico for about 7 years now, which predates Delray Watch.
It's a shame the size of those pushers and crown on the JLC, great brand but so many aesthetics horrible options , that's the reason I don't have any JLC.
The only JLC I want is the JLC Deep sea 135.8CB chronograph. That's one that got right it's triple register perfection but that's the only JLC I wish to own
Saw you got another H. Moser Mad Red Pioneer. I want that watch so badly but need to wait a couple months before I can swing it, I know this one isn't likely to remain unsold for that long but here's hoping you get another around March. May 2025 be a healthy and prosperous new year for you, Fed.
I thought the new Zenith Pilots were cool. However, I liked the previous generation much better. They had a lot more style and soul to them, while the new ones feel more clinical. Not necessarily a bad thing, just different appeal there: people like me that were big fans of the old designs won't necessarily enjoy the new ones, they feel like a completely different watch. With that said, Zenith makes great watches no matter what model.
Too short a video!!! We the people want more!!!
Truth. They are shorter and shorter. Barely 5 or 6 minutes anymore and half of that is shilling his products.
Literally doesn't start answering questions until 2:33 on a 5 minute video
Half his videos are alway Fed selling watches, aka advertising
Amen!
We need daily vids please

Yup … the zenith has nice wrist presence. It’s much better in person than pictures can do justice.
I like those zenith pilot watches.
The blue one is particularly nice looking. These watches are very legible, a plus for an older guy like me. 😊
Me too, they are unfortunately kind of expensive, but in comparison to e.g. the IWC Mark XX they look better and have better movements.
Me too, don't let some people on the internet tell you otherwise.
I like the crown... but that's about it. Otherwise, it gives Timex vibes. Oh, I also love the "Pilot" font.
Happy New Year Fed! Thanks for another year of amazing content. Glad to hear you’re busy - beats the alternative! Hope 2025 is a great year for you.
I’m yet to buy a watch from you guys (lack of money) but I have already referred several people to you because of your channel. One day, thank you!
Happy New Year Fed! Love your videos.
The Zenith Pilot would've been great with a more modest lug to log, now its only wearable for larger wrists.

Hi,Sir.
What ya think of the 5hz Longines Ultrachron?
No show on Teddy’s video?
how come?
I like the Zenith Pilot, but rather have an IWC Mark XX for much less $
Another great video!
The zenith pilots really are terrible. Well said
I got that pulp fiction reference! Ketchup!
I'm waiting for the chance to cop a Zenith Pilot. It's getting pretty close.
Happy NY Fed. Have the best year ever! 🎉

Great idea, that’s why I got all 3! For the zenith I got the chrono in ceramic though.
Sorry by IWC Pilot I meant Type XX.
@@defenestratedonesame … the joke it though that I wear the zenith more often than the other two. I have the zenith pilot in stainless.
I like the pilots watch. I think its a very good version of that style of watch, but that style isnt a priority for me at that price point
Zenith Pilot … love mine! If you know you know.
That zenith pilot looks like a unimatic
Spot on in regards to Zenith. Want to love them but visually boring.
Zenith is very blah. "Hype" is a strong word for anything they have released in the last decade.
You're right Federico, the Zenith Pilot-line is really ugly not only the new ones but also the precedessor line was even uglier with the ultra large cathedral hands, meeehh, the Chronomaster line is THE REAL Zenith line I would consider to buy

When does he talk about watches that went from hype to flop? The title is misleading.
Playing ketchup is OK by me.
How did you learn to speak English so well? Are you Spanish?
Actually, he is Italian. But his family moved to Spain when he was about 10 years old if I remember correctly, and still lives there. He went to university in Wales.

I don't get it. since when Zenith Pilot was EVER hyped?
We all love ketchup! 🎉
The Zenith pilot watches look good 😂 they are overpriced though
Fully agree on the boring Zenith Pilot

Jaeger-Lecoultre rules!!!!! I love this brand
Sorry, but Zenith pilot watches are not ugly 👎 problem is price, that's all... Longines Spirit Titanium 40mm is 2300$ only...
I like the zenith watch you've shown, I just can't afford it... and the size of those are unwearable, for most wrists I think.
The Timepiece Gentleman was a big GP fan as well.
Sketchy dudes wear Breitling. It’s just a fact.
I have the Shelby Top Time, I’m the farthest dude from sketchy
Well said Chiller. Well said.

Da Cheepie Jeepie fur those tugging their way to the top!
The ketchup brain fart is definitely a good name for an award winning time piece…😂
Flop: Mosers
True unfortunately. They get hype for about a month after release then die off.
@@ozzy1154and just as meh as the zenith pilot
Zenith defy much better purchase
