Zenith CMS Yoshida for a Rolex datejust 41....

So I've come across a zenith cms yoshida that has taken my fancy. 250 made apparently.

Anyone got any real experiences with the watch and specifically the bracelet? The reviews all seem positive apart from the clasp and bracelet.

Ive been offered a straight swap for my datejust 41 mint green jubilee smooth bezel.

The zenith looks so good...... Here she is. So turn. I love the datejust and also love this. I have to get rid before I can get another. My other 2 rolexs won't be going anywhere so it's the datejust or deals off.

What are your other two Rolex pieces?

Given that you do have two others, I would do this trade. I like the Zenith and the one you are showing is a fairly sweet colorway. I have owned two - a black and a white CS. The white was my preferred. My only complaint is the clasp is well below the watch as a whole. I found it more fitting of a watch 1/4 the piece, that’s just my opinion. Again, other than that I really like the watch.

I've a 114060 and a 116613lb love both. That's my other concern as I've got nothing else like the datejust and although I like it, not sure if I really like it.

My major concern with the CMS is the clasp, it seems to be a common problem that many owners mention.

I almost wish I never enquired as now I have a dificult decision to make!!

Do you still have your zenith?

I like the zenith chrono, seem like a good deal minus what I've heard of the bracelet, but haven't owned one. Pricing wise seems like a pretty bad deal tho....

The zenith is up for £7800 which I think is a fair value for the datejust given the deal has to make a profit. They'll more then likely sell for £8500 ish or a touch more.

Sounds like you already know what you want to do...

Nope, I don't. Hence the question seeking some feedback.

I no longer have either Zenith, but that is somewhat the Easy E way. I will try a piece and trade it for something else a few months later. I would own one again, if that helps. Also, as of right now, your out on either piece is still pretty solid. If you get it and hate it your ding is manageable - fairly easy to move it on.
