El Primero A386 on sale on an italian forum

plexyforever · Mar 12, 2017

Hi,
on an italian watch forum a private seller is selling a Zenith A386. He says that the case is Mk l.
The serial number on the case back is 539D... and inside no Spillman number : correct.
A question. The case has groove on the lugs.
What do you think?
Thanks.

Perhaps a photo or link would be in order...

is it the same one that was discussed here?

539 serial / case with a groove
but this one was advertised in Australia not Italy.

Yes I think it is the same: from New Zealand, service hands and crown, groove on lugs but type A caseback (according LouS).
The price is different: 15.500 euros.

The case does not look right for Mark I. Here's mine for comparison, no real groove on the lug, just an edge where lug meets bezel.
