Still have to sell a few more pieces to help pay for some incoming. This one is hard to part with....

Zenith Ref 19518
Case: oversized 38mm, unpolished, solid 18K
Dial & Hands: very clean, original
Mvmt: UG/Martel cal 156, pristine

Comes with solid 18K milanese bracelet. 3 position clasp. At smallest fits approx 7" wrist. Next position up approx 7 3/8", final position up approx 7 3/4". Please understand these sizes are not exact.

This watch was purchased last year from the original owners son, and comes with a hand written letter from the son detailing the watch history, as well as a few photos of the original owner wearing the watch.

Service history unknown, but watch is running and keeping good time. Please note the chrono sweep hand reset is about 1 second to the left of 12, and the reset button sticks in the depressed position. I spoke with my watchmaker and he said this should be an easy adjustment, I was just waiting to combine it with a full service at some point in the future. At the moment a quick double press of the start/stop button advances the chrono sweep exactly to 12 and also pops the lower reset button back out, so this has been good enough for me.

Asking 5K USD net to me (paypal). I have references here on OF and extensive (450+ at 100%) on ebay.
Free shipping CONUS, intl at buyers cost. No returns unless grossly misrepresented.

Without further ado, the pics....
