Thanks for sharing those pics and your experience.
I struggle with the Defy bracelet width relative to the case, I realize it’s a nod to the older model but it’s not pleasing to my eye. I prefer the last two models ( I believe they are 42.5mm? ) you showed, the durable looking strap seems appropriate to the case size, plus the matte case finish is attractive. And the more appropriate salesperson comment is: Who doesn’t love a Dive watch!
A quick stop at Zenith
I had been curious about the Defy revival A3648 for a while and was able to check their new dive watches. In hindsight I should have worn my doxa sub professional to compare the shade of orange but the boutique visit was not scheduled. Let's get straight ...
I like the funky case and orange accents on the revival
And I would definitely pick the zenith over the gp. My only gripe with the revival is that while it's a fun watch, legibility is compromised due to having too much orange (hands+minute track). As far as telling time at a glance, hard to beat the searamble...
Well, I think I could live with the orange... Is here another one...
Better than the current GP: ...
I am a fan too
So many different models all full of character and very unique, a lot to like.
These revival watches from Zenith are interesting and most are very colourful.
My favourite of the ones you have posted would have to be the Extreme in the grey as in the last picture. I'm really not sure I even like the Defy models as something feels off not just about the case shape but also about how narrow the bracelets look, I ...

I'm a very big fan of Zenith watches, I love the brand and they have very good watches.
I came close many times
First with the Stratos flyback, then with a classic El Primero reissue and countless other models either pilot or chronographs. They have quite a unique position with often colorful and technically appealing models, I hope I can add one at some point!

Good stuff!
I tried on one of those orange revival divers last year and my main thought was, "I'd rather have another Doxa." I wonder if I'd feel the same on reflection. What's your conclusion?
No way I'd pay full price
Even depreciated these relatively new models would probably be 2-3 times the price of a new doxa or similar tier-2/tier-3 brand so there is not enough on offer to open my wallet.
