I know name is kind of an awkward term here, didn't want my title to get too long. Guess I am asking how one would identify this watch if he wanted to start searching for one to purchase? Found this while looking at an older thread right here on the Zenith Board, the thread is old enough that I decided it didn't make sense to reply on the thread I just think this is a drop dead gorgeous version of an already attractive watch. Thanks
Stunning fits. Or gorgeous Or we can just call it Jeff. Most makers seem to have plain models, no names just a watch, like it or lump it. I’ve noticed that they’re often the classiest of their products.
That's a lot, I should say. For my experience there are more Zenith "stellina" in Italy than anywhere else. Zenith must've been a very popular brand in Italy during the 50s and 60s. Regarding the OP watch, on second look I think it's pretty obvious it is a redial. Not only the dial is too white and "FAB SUISSE" text looks off but "FAB SUISSE" and "SWISS MADE" coexistence on the same dial is a clear give-away. Then again, I might be wrong... Not that a redial is always a negative but one must know for assessing the watch.
Not quite hehe. Stellina é vera, it was already there from the beginning. Just the dial has been restored.
Looks like stelina painta had a crown operation too, unsigned. Despite which , hard to resist falling in love with this watch.
