    Hi All,

    I received this watch as part of my fathers estate.

    Watch was left to him by his father who passed away in the early 1960's.

    I am looking for as much info as possible.

    Case number: 8124530
    mov't number: 2287926
    You can see the applied Arabic markers and just about see the bluing on the hands.[​IMG]

    Nice gilt movement.

    Has a lot of service marks.

    A service mark, looks like 1935.

    And of course a wrist shot, and the watch is in running order.

    I did some "google" research and looks like the movement is from 1918-1919, but I think the case is around the 1930's.

    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    You'll get zenith specific stuff from other members, but from me - dont run it until it's been serviced. There's no oil left in that movement....
