Another day into the new year and my consolidation efforts continue. Asking for $400USD via PayPal for this vintage Zenith including shipping from Australia. Selling head only, the band pictured is not included, a different strap can be supplied on request.



Stainless steel case measures 33.8mm wide and 36mm with the crown, as well as 40mm lug to lug. It is in good condition, and has light marks from wear. Crown is original. Caseback has not been polished and has tool marks and dents.Crystal has a couple of light scratches. Dial has varnish loss in the bottom right quadrant. The 2522P movement was recently checked and oiled by a reputable watchmaker. It runs strong and keeps time, though a proper service would be suggested for daily wear. Zenith case serial number is 9707520. Movement serial dates the watch to 1961.

Please see photos for further details. No refunds unless watch is not as described. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Do you have a couple of wrist shots in normal light, inside and outside.

This has to sell soon or I will have to buy it πŸ™„

How the hell is this still here?!? Are people worried that 33.8mm is too small? It’s literally all dial, and a gorgeous silvery champagne color with gorgeous robust lugs. It will wear larger than it measures. And look at that wrist presence!!! Not to mention those gorgeous numerals and a beautiful movement. FFS some new guys are really missing out...

It's still here...and it may not actually be 33.8mm...it's around that or this; I'm trying to be as accurate (and not overestimate) as possible 😜



Thank you @STANDY @ClarendonVintage @Jwit and @watchknut for the kind words!
