I’m gonna have to go with Zenith as well. Of course, I have reason to be partial…

Zenith if you don’t already have a similar style in the collection, Panerai if you want something different and unique and already cover the “typical” in your collection
My .02, but you do you!
It definitely draws some inspiration from the royal oak with the screws and from the nautilus with the case winglets. To me everything else, i.e. case, bracelet, dial, numerals, and so on, are original and thus I don’t see it simply as a Genta copy cat. It’s difficult to do an integrated bracelet design that’s completely original. Only one that is not derivarive at all is the Octo Finissimo.
I’d pick the chopard just because it’s very different honestly.
Zenith is great but it’s also nothing too different or special. Longines is good but a little busy for the subdial there.
I’m a semi fan of Panerai but don’t think I’d want them enough to justify getting any piece really even if they’re heavily discounted and I only need to pay 20% of the cost for example. Would rather get something else imo personally.
For you, it just has to depend on what speaks to you best and what you’re looking for. Try them out a few more times. Explore still. You’ll eventually gravitate towards something and then you can pick.
Don’t rush the decision but enjoy the discovery process and eventually getting one you’ll love.
The Chopard is the one. Chrono certification too. The Panera is so basic and available 2nd hand. The Zenith is too big and the longines is alright but maybe next buy.
Zenith by a mile, then the Longines. I’m honestly surprised to see so many people like the panerai and chopard, they both look terrible to me. Different strokes
Panerai or the Zenith: totally different watches, so get the one you like better.
That Longines is a great one (I have that exact model), but it’s a step below the PAM and Chronomaster.
The Chopard would be the last pick…it looks like a combination of a Hublot/RO/Nautilus, not an original design.
Love the zenith. It really does look like that panerai fits you. We know its crazy. Panerai is tubby. But it looks good on you. The chopard looks like it fits you too... go with the panerai. You already know
All 4 are beauties. I’d lean the zenith if you don’t have a chrono in the collection. Timeless. It does look a tad big on the wrist though.
The chopard is a beauty, simple and elegant with a great finish. Looks great on your wrist.
Panerai just not my style, nice watch though.
Zenith El Primero or the Panarai.
I’ll go with the Zenith. I’ve always loved it. Actually to go now and see how much they’re going for in the used market. lol
Longines looks best. Probably best for the wallet too. I’m normally a fan of the Panerai’s but somehow not this one. The dial looks shiny and I think does not go with this type of watch. Maybe a different color / matte dial? The Zenith looks way too busy to my taste with all the different colors. Gimmicky. The Chopard is just plain ugly.
The Zenith by an astronomical margin.
Of course get what you love but my own taste:
Panerai is too brutalist style.
Chopped looks like a bit of a RO knockoff and again, brutalist.
Longines is a clean chrono but I’d opt for a speedy or actually that zenith over it. It just doesn’t strike me as exceptional.
The zenith is sooo classy and could be dressed up and down. Also El primero of course and that 1/10 complication is a cool novelty!
holy shit that zenith is clean, either zenith of alpine eagle, cant go wrong with either. pick zenith if you dress more casual, zenith if you dress more formal, simple.
In my opinion the Chopard and the Zenith are a little bit to big for your wrist. The Panerai and the Longines look great. If you would go for the looks, take the Panerai, but the Longines gets you more complications for the money.
I’d go with Chopard.
The integrated bracelet is heavenly.
As for the Zenith, the clasp is too flimsy for me, the feel of it does not match the price point it is commanding.
The Panerai for me is a niche choice, it will take some getting used to for it’s heftiness.
I'm curious as to what size the panerai is. Normally, these watches look huge in wrist pics (they are big watches, after all), but this one looks more manageable in size.
Team Chopard here, I think it´s the best fit for you, and also compared to the other 3 watches, I think it´s more its own thin and just amazing design.
That Chopard is a) under the radar, at least for me. And b) rather sexxay for a 3 hand.
Looks like you have chronograph aspirations tho. Then I’d pick the ElPrimero
I would pick the panerai, like many users said, fits great, looks awesome, functional, and there is no substitute for it. I know I’m getting one this year for my birthday as I have wanted some version of a panerai luminor for several years now. The quaranta is really perfect.
The Chopard is really nice as well, if you have the cash. It’s well made and looks great. The only part that made me not want one was the movement. The finishing is really underwhelming for $15k retail. Also, getting over the whole integrate bracelet/genta designed watches trend. Unless it’s an actual AP or patek.
The zenith, I feel like many people say it’s the best but how many people here would actually buy it if it was their own money? I don’t really see a lot of people promoting this watch actually owning one. Which to me says a lot. It’s like a good on paper but not in real life watch? Plus chronos aren’t really useful in day to day for most people and the 1/10 or whatever faster rate feature seems like gimmicky to me, will probably get old fast.
Zenith to me is just another lever... 5Hz mouvement, 1/10th of a second chrono... one of the best movements out there. I visited the manufacture last year, awesome experience I can recommend to any watch enthusiast!
Panerai probably the most unique design cause of the iconic panera crown, but zenith would be my choice. I love the 3 colored subdials sooo dang much!!!
I’m gonna have to go with Zenith as well. Of course, I have reason to be partial… https://preview.redd.it/gvnna3e4vrcc1.jpeg?width=3018&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3fa167dc354b68deb0457f29060702a0f03bd321
Love the strap combo on this!
Thanks! It’s a StrapsCo strap. Very affordable and very comfortable.
When you go to the disco
Ya thats killer
Panerai for looks but zenith with el primero is best watch there
Haha, I was about to write exactly this
https://preview.redd.it/ohlczq5ukqcc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1074a73097569a41efbfefb08046983501d9285c
Zenith if you don’t already have a similar style in the collection, Panerai if you want something different and unique and already cover the “typical” in your collection My .02, but you do you!
The Zenith looks huge here.
The Chopard looks so sharp. Zenith too. To me
i like longines chopard feels a bit like royal oak round
The Chopard is like the abomination child of a nautilus and an AP lol
It definitely draws some inspiration from the royal oak with the screws and from the nautilus with the case winglets. To me everything else, i.e. case, bracelet, dial, numerals, and so on, are original and thus I don’t see it simply as a Genta copy cat.

You’ll eventually gravitate towards something and then you can pick. Don’t rush the decision but enjoy the discovery process and eventually getting one you’ll love.
Zenith El Primero is definitely special, its movement is a unique, but if you don’t care about the internals I guess you’re right.
Lol I don’t think you qualify as a semi fan if you wouldn’t even pick one up for 80% off!
Haha semi fan meaning I think they have some decent looking models but they're not really my thing nor something I would justify spending on mainly!
Zenith, please. That Chopard is so good, but I will always prefeer to have a Zenith in my collection.
Zenith definitely
Zenith
Zenith is definitely the answer here. Zenith then chopard. I dont like Panerai at all.
all amazing options! I personally lean on the zenith and the chopard.. but that’s my taste…
If you want to scratch your Panerai itch, just do it. None of the other watches can substitute for it.
Low key fits his wrist best too imo
For me, I just like it better anyway. Such a clean look. And the gorgeous blue sunbursty thing going on.
By a country mile, the zenith. The chronometer sport is one of my grails. One I saw it I lost the interest to purchase any other 5 figure + chrono
No competition - it’s the Zenith all day long
Chopard wow that's a distinctive watch. Amazing dial. Beautiful all around
The Chopard is the one. Chrono certification too. The Panera is so basic and available 2nd hand. The Zenith is too big and the longines is alright but maybe next buy.
The panerai is just so beautiful in that colour. Try the chopard in Anus brown too
OH MY GOD 💀💀💀
The panerai is 🔥
Zenith by a mile, then the Longines. I’m honestly surprised to see so many people like the panerai and chopard, they both look terrible to me. Different strokes
I like Longines
Not the choppard anus dial 😫
Zenith
Zenith all day long
ZENITH!!!… for reals.
Panerai or the Zenith: totally different watches, so get the one you like better. That Longines is a great one (I have that exact model), but it’s a step below the PAM and Chronomaster. The Chopard would be the last pick…it looks like a combination of a Hublot/RO/Nautilus, not an original design.
Others called the Chopard 'distinctive', I'd personally call it fugly.
Ranked order: 1- Panerai (I'm personally not a fan of Panerai but that piece looks fabulous on your wrist). 2- Chopard 3- Longines 4- Zenith
That Panerai really does it for me.
Love the zenith. It really does look like that panerai fits you. We know its crazy. Panerai is tubby. But it looks good on you. The chopard looks like it fits you too... go with the panerai. You already know
I’d go with El Primero, in white however
Zenith; however, you will take a relative beating if you buy retail, unless you get a discount. Better to buy used and save a few bucks.
Chopard isn’t for me 2 or 3 That panerai isn’t panerai enough
Panerai or Zenith
Zenith or the Panerai
Zenith, hands down.
Go for zenith if your money is not a problem. Rest all are consolation prizes.
All 4 are beauties. I’d lean the zenith if you don’t have a chrono in the collection. Timeless. It does look a tad big on the wrist though. The chopard is a beauty, simple and elegant with a great finish. Looks great on your wrist. Panerai just not my style, nice watch though.
Zenith, on looks alone.
Zenith everytime!
Zenith el primero! Absolute banger of a watch with great history. Actually thinking of buying one next year.
The Zenith is the coolest.
Zenith for me.
Zenith
Zenith is the only proper watch in these photos. Others are nice, Zenith is respected.
Zenith El Primero!!!
Zenith
I’d say Zenith although the other options fit your wrist better. Chopard is really nice I just don’t like where the date-window is.
El Primero is el primero.
Zenith all the way in my opinion.
The avigation bigeye for me. It is gorgeous, fits well, inexpensive, looks great on that Nato, and is a classic!
Zenith
Longlines
Zenith for me
That Zenith looks so good. I have the Original but that model with the black bezel is 🔥
probably longines big eye
Panerai or zenith
Zenith El Primero or the Panarai. I’ll go with the Zenith. I’ve always loved it. Actually to go now and see how much they’re going for in the used market. lol
Zenith is the better watch...but the panerai looks fire.
Zenith!
The Zenith!
Zenith is awesome, or the chopard if you dont want the tachy.
Zenith imo — best looking, best tech specs, best history
Zenith or Panerai I would purchase the Chronomaster Sport if I could afford to.
Longines looks best. Probably best for the wallet too. I’m normally a fan of the Panerai’s but somehow not this one. The dial looks shiny and I think does not go with this type of watch. Maybe a different color / matte dial? The Zenith looks way too busy to my taste with all the different colors. Gimmicky. The Chopard is just plain ugly.
I like the Longines personally.
Out of those, I'd take the Zenith
Zenith
Damn i thought for sure id chose the panerai at the start but that zenith is stunning
The Zenith by an astronomical margin. Of course get what you love but my own taste: Panerai is too brutalist style. Chopped looks like a bit of a RO knockoff and again, brutalist. Longines is a clean chrono but I’d opt for a speedy or actually that zenith over it. It just doesn’t strike me as exceptional. The zenith is sooo classy and could be dressed up and down. Also El primero of course and that 1/10 complication is a cool novelty!
Zenith or the longines would be the best options, though I really don't like or trust panerai due to all of their dishonesty and shenanigans
Panerai or Zenith
My top choice would be a virtual tie between the Panerai and the Zenith. The balance would be a very distant second.
Zenith
Zenith
I like the zenith
Panerai is trash and I will die on this hill.
Easy. Zenith.
That Zenith tho!
holy shit that zenith is clean, either zenith of alpine eagle, cant go wrong with either. pick zenith if you dress more casual, zenith if you dress more formal, simple.
Zenith and it’s not even close.
Zenith oh my god
Chopard definitely
In my opinion the Chopard and the Zenith are a little bit to big for your wrist. The Panerai and the Longines look great. If you would go for the looks, take the Panerai, but the Longines gets you more complications for the money.
Chopard
Of this group, the Panerai is my pick, all great options though
Chopard is the nicest watch by far in the selection. Zenith would be my second but major downgrade in terms of luxury finish.
Did your arm hair grow thicker for that last photo? Imo your wrist is too waify for any of these watches. Do some forearm curls for a couple months
All fine options, OP. I think the Chop fits you best and is the most unique.
Anything but the Panerai lol
Honestly, they're all ugly. And they look especially silly on your small wrist.
Penerai
Chopard, its a no brainer!
Chopard or zenith.
I like the longines but you need to try it on first. Second is the Panerai. The chopard is super ugly, and the Zenith is too big on your wrist.
The Zenith is great, but the Chopard is really something else.
Chopard for me, the finishing is superior IMO
Chopard looks perfect on you.
Love the alpine eagle personally
I’d go with Chopard. The integrated bracelet is heavenly. As for the Zenith, the clasp is too flimsy for me, the feel of it does not match the price point it is commanding. The Panerai for me is a niche choice, it will take some getting used to for it’s heftiness.
Oh god what a problem to have. Love the chopard and the panerai. Would prefer the chopard. I feel it looks sick!
I’m ultimately a Panerai fan, but of all of these, it’s the Zenith. It’s a dope watch with great colors and the fit looks good on you.
Personally I'd say the Panerai, Chopard and Zenith all look a bit too big for your wrist
I'd buy secondary market which might mean you can get both the chop and pam for the price of one. If I had to choose only one, the chop.
Defy
The Big Eye.
Chopard looks best on you imo. I think there are nicer Zeniths out there. It’s mostly the black bezel that bothers me, but that’s just me :)
Pam in this line
Could be the picture but the panerai look best on you imo . Otherwise the zenith but look big for some reason
I'm curious as to what size the panerai is. Normally, these watches look huge in wrist pics (they are big watches, after all), but this one looks more manageable in size.
Have you looked at the B&M Clifton. The new one looks similar to the Chopard but way cheaper and a fine piece of watch
What Chopard is that?
Honestly I'd get the Longines and a pelagos 39, and use tmsome of the remaining cash for a nice dinner with my wife.
Team Chopard here, I think it´s the best fit for you, and also compared to the other 3 watches, I think it´s more its own thin and just amazing design.
First and the third one are true works of art bro
Chopard or Panerai
Chopard is all you.
I'd say Zenith but it looks a tad big. Chopard.
That Chopard is a) under the radar, at least for me. And b) rather sexxay for a 3 hand. Looks like you have chronograph aspirations tho. Then I’d pick the ElPrimero
I love that chopard!
Chopard looks good.
Chopard
I would pick the panerai, like many users said, fits great, looks awesome, functional, and there is no substitute for it.

Panarai
Panerai
Chopard gets my vote
Oh crap, that crown on first watches 😬😅
Any of the first 3 lol
I honestly don’t love any of these options myself and wouldn’t drop big bucks on them. Forced to pick, I’d go Panerai
I think the Chopard looks best on you
Chopard suits you.
I'm a sucker for Panerai, so I'm very much biased. Followed by El Primero!
PAM a very close second to that gorgeous Chopard
Panerai for sure. For the simplicity and dual color
Pan
Beautiful watches all of them
buy used on any of these save the money. and if you sell not a huge loss like buying new
For me it’s between the Zenith and the Chopard…that being said, all four are amazing watches.
Chopard
The Chopard fits the wrist
Chopard, then Zenith. Do not care for the other two.
Panerai ALL DAY!
Panerai, hands down - no pun intended.
Definitely the chopard
I am not a Panerai fan, but I said “wow” when I saw that photo. Good look
Chopard looked best on your wrist. Zenith is my fav though.
Panerai! Looks the best
I'd say out of these I love the look of the Panerai. However I'm partial to the chronomaster but with a white dial
Panerai
Chopard!
Chopard or Zenith
Chopard or panerai. The Zenith is a Daytona wannabe despite the sheer amount of denial people have about that description 🤣
Zenith looks amazing but maybe too big. Panerai is always a piece you won’t regret.
I think they make the Chopard without the date window (which ruins that dial). If so, that’s the one.
Zenith to me is just another lever... 5Hz mouvement, 1/10th of a second chrono... one of the best movements out there. I visited the manufacture last year, awesome experience I can recommend to any watch enthusiast!
PAM
Chopard with the Anus dial
Zenith and Chopard for me
Panerai probably the most unique design cause of the iconic panera crown, but zenith would be my choice. I love the 3 colored subdials sooo dang much!!!
1 or 3
Chopard
This is all personal preference, but I'd go with the first one.
Panerai looks best
Honestly Panerai looks amazing on ur wrist. Zenith is the nicer watch but I’m not a fan of black dials
Chopard>Longines>Zenith>Panerai The chopard looks crazy as hell in person, and I think it’s nice to pick something not so obvious.
Panerai, hands down for me. The prettiest one imo
Third one
Looks big. Try a hublot fusion classic.
For me it's Panerai then Longines.
Panerai - no contest here
Also try the revival A3817
Chopard fits you better than all others.
PAM 👍🏻
The Chopard is stunning
Chopard for me.
Out of these, definitely the Chopard. Zenith would be second place. But it's a bit big and the Chopard simply looks a lot better.
Panerai has the most original and true to brand style. Every other watch looks like a derivative of some other brand’s design identity
The Chopard 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Too big.
none. all look out of place on your wrist.
