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!

Wrong profile

Right profile (got two of these but one is not NOS and it is a little ugly as it has lost one mesh link where it sits against the case.

My original one - look above how it sits high between the lugs.
This is the closest to fitting the other one - see how it sits lower. Right profile and width but not getting it up between the lugs.

And this is why. The tabs on the original, to my watch, sits "lower" thus alowing the higher fit between the lugs. Maybe this bracelet could be tweaked to fit but one might break the tabs in doing so.

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!

As for me, living in Minnesoooda I am quite accustom to dealing with unruly Swedes.🙄

No doubt you know of our most famous residents, Sven and Ole.

The doctor tells Ole he only has a few days left to live. Ole thinks a little, looks hard at Lena, and says, “Lena, promise me. Swear to me that when I’m gone, you’ll marry Sven Svenson.”
“SVEN SVENSON???” she shrieks. “You’ve hated him all your life!”
Ole answers, “Yep, I still do.”
