Want an El Primero without paying the skyrocketing prices of models like the A386? Here's your chance. This reference 01.0210.415 caliber 3019 PHC has literally just been serviced and all functions operate correctly (that's at LEAST a $300 value). The dial, hands, crystal, logo crown, and logo buckle are all NOS Zenith parts. There are minor imperfections on the case but you need magnification to see them. All original parts will be included as well. On to the pictures (excuse any dust, fingerprints, or reflections ).......






















Here's a close-up of the dial and buckle from when they were purchased:





Since I'm not very well versed in Zenith, I'm going to ask $4200. As usual, first to come up with the full price gets the watch - but decent offers are always considered. Contact via email at [email protected] or preferably message me here.

Thanks for looking, and Happy Watch Season!

 

After a brief discussion about the current market for these, the asking price is now down to $4200 OBO.

 

PM sent...

 

OHPF


...... make that SOLD!

 

When did I EVER say I was going to help somebody kick the watch habit? Wait, I'll answer that for you: never!!!!

 

It's only a relapse if I said I was quitting. I was on sabbatical.

 

Congratz for both of you. A worthy transaction

 

I'm going to make a wild guess here and say that it is intended to measure and record...

the passage of time.

 

Oh, man...
Late to the party. Thank goodness. I would have lots of explaining to do after my wife just paid the holiday expenses on the 'ol MasterCard.
This model is supposedly less scarce than the others, and it's certainly "simpler" in style to other EP's, but this (and the ubiquitous "TV" model) are my favorites.
If only the date were at 12 it would be perfect to me! Or only if the Movado cousin said "Zenith"...

 

If it had a big date at 12 and was 2 or 3 mm flatter I never would have sold it.

 

I still want to know why...!?

And congratulations Hijak!

Mine is not going anywhere soon but it is nice to notice that there is interest in this ref. For a long time I felt like Don Quijote... alone...misunderstood...
Then along came upackmucus and I thought I had found my Sancho Panza! Well - now my hope turns to Hijak.

 

Thanks and mine won't be going anywhere either! May I ask what mesh bracelet yours is on? Oh and you know this purchase is your fault.

 

Aha - my crusade has succeeded!
The mesh is branded Zenith. Mine came with the watch. Since then I have bough three more of them but they are not for this ref - it turned out.

 

Are you clairvoyant? How did you know I'm all nasally and clogged up?

 

I have tried earlier to insult you with this but maybe you missed it... At the same time I called cicindela - cinderella...
I was disapointed at the time. Here I was... trying to pick a fight and no reaction!
