    Up for grabs is this lovely 18k rose gold Zenith chronograph measuring 38x44mm making it just fantastic on the wrist for those of us with wrists larger than 6 inches :).

    Original dial with subtle but even spotting throughout and haziness along the edge but no chips, marks, or scratches. Really really pleasing in my opinion. Take a look at the macro shot and you'll see what I mean. Original hands as well in lovely RG. The case still retains its lines but has been polished in the past.

    Pusher action is very good and the crown winds smoothly. Movement is the venerable cal 156D which is the same as the UG 285 since Zenith acquired Martel in the early 60s. The movement was serviced in 2015 by the previous owner, but I don't have records. It's mounted on a lovely blue alligator strap from Rios with a plated RG buckle to match the case.

    I'm asking 2100 USD shipped FedEx fully insured within the USA. International shipping can be discussed as well.

    Let's try 2100 usd shipped and insured for the next week. I'll include the brown Hirsch alligator strap as well in this photo.

    I'm selling a few more pieces as my family is making a big move and the costs of the move will be significant, so if this one tickles your fancy let me know! If not I'll withdraw and try some other watches which may be more popular right now.
