the Zenith 135



and what else has those coffin case markers?

Please advise.

Hoi.

Your uncommon and highly desirable pink gold Zenith Chronometre is really in an amazing condition.

Just for interest-sake, kindly let me know whether those watches with hour-markers depicting a coffin will find buyers in Asia, especially amongst a group of people who is superstitious.

I can still remember at one time, then in Singapore, this lot did not want to drive or own a Triumph Mayflower, since the car (especially its boot) looks like a coffin.

Thank-you.

 

Some early Accutrons came with coffin link bracelets.

 

Respectable Seamonster,

I will without batting an eyelid if it is that Cal 135.

 

Dear Respectable Member Seamonster.

The answer is no, there are offers for it from that group but it's still with me because I don't want to let it go not because they don't want it.

People in VN love white dials, rose gold and don't care much about those coffins . (They don't like black dials, black means bad luck)

Regards.

 

Hoi, is that dial in the eBay auction you linked to the real deal or refinished?

 

I vote for : Yes, it's the real deal.

 

And I thought you would miss this thread.

 

Close up on the coffins. Maybe ..

 

Respectable Member Gavin

Even a corpse of any ethnic group in a coffin will want to jump out, just to own that highly desirable Cal 135.

Thank-you.

Respectable Member hoipolloi

You very well know, this killer dial is going to cause some of us here, many a sleepless night.

Definitely, you will not part with this classic, whatever the offer may be.

Thank-you.

 

Not quite the same league as the Zenith but yes, coffin-type markers on this solid gold Gyromatic:

Best,
T.
