A real gentleman and a Zenith

I want to tell our members here about a very positive experience I had with a new member. I also posted in the Seller Profiles

@goedie joined recently and posted a watch in the Zenith forum. I liked it and moved on. I was looking through pics on Instagram and saw some beautiful Zenith pieces from a collector in the Netherlands. Turns out it was him but I didn’t know at the time. Anyway I asked if he was selling any pieces and he was and had one I liked. We agreed on price and I sent payment with PayPal.

He also sent me a Zenith watch display cube, Zenith buckle and a vintage instructional booklet. He then did something only a true gentleman would do, he sent the watch even though PayPal would not release funds until it was delivered. I know a lot of people think that’s crazy and I was surprised myself. Everything arrived safely and he has earned a lot of respect from me. Please don’t hesitate to do business with him, I know I won’t. Here’s the watch

Very nice !

I am. I think that’s 12 now

Thanks. Now if I could only find a way to get his cal 135. The lottery isn’t working 🙁

Beautiful watch. Elegance is the operative word.

PS
I just noticed how much my SONA case resembles that Zenith case.

Also my Elgin case


Does anyone have information on this case design?
I'm sure it appeared in many permutations in that general time frame.
The SONA is a recent version, more like a cheap knock off, but is a copy of a 60's HMT design. Decent watch though.
German Elgins are late 60's through 70's IIRC.
