Just a 'Bit of a gamble' with dead batteries sat in it for at least 14 years, and no movement shot? Dread to think how much fun you'd have with something relatively low risk like alligator wrestling....
Nice copper coloured Class 4 for you American members. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ZENITH-VE...0-/181415774322?&_trksid=p2056016.m2518.l4276Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network This one has the correct, dial coloured date ring and importantly has the swivel lug extensions that make it sit nicely on the wrist. The strap is not original (they were brown) and he is open to offers. The BIN is about what you'd expect to pay this side of the pond.
Not ebay but looks decent. Others will chime in on the worthiness of the listing: http://chrono24.auctionata.com/en/o/62118/zenith-2-chronographs-switzerland-1950-1960
Not sure about the dial on that one in steel without a better close-up, but the gold plated one looks good. Estimate is reasonable, presuming the steel one checks out.
A386 crystal, I remember LouS mentioning these could be tricky to find at times http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Zen...es_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item46211665f3Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
A Nice Zenith Diver. Opening price isn't terrible: http://www.ebay.it/itm/ZENITH-Crono...t=Orologi_da_Polso&hash=item19ef28bcd7&_uhb=1Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
I would say Yes based on the pictures provided. Text is a little light and a little too close to the star, the "1" and the "2" of the twelve are not even, and the dial overall is suspiciously featureless - no grain, no texture, no patina, no blemishes.
NOt on Ebay, but if anyone wants to get a modern Elite with a nice smoke dial http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tree&goto=6813963&rid=0#msg_6813963
