[LouS]

For the Zenith 1000m diver








'ZK' and 'ZKM" are apparently identical and both fit this model








'ZR' come in two sizes - 22 & 24mm




Please add what you know

Here are a couple of hidden lug GF end pieces (apologies for the lack of photography skills):

 

[LouS]

what is the ZD watch? The Deep Diver?

P.S. Mike, your pics have been incorporated into the lead post - thanks very much for the contribution

Yes, it's the AH 3639. GF bracelet is dated 3/68 and Zenith confirmed the watch is from October 1968.

 

[LouS]

That'll be another short-list watch - oh, wait, it already is.🥰

My A792, which came back from a lengthy service today, also has ZO on the GF bracelet. [edit: I hadn't looked at the actual listing until MMMD's post. I agree the second link is not correct]

I'll try to add photos to update the main thread tonight.

One end says ZO... the other one says something else... maybe not even a Zenith end link... as the seller says,
Please look at the photos for more detial ,Pleae note " one ear not match but still fit" .

Yep, legit, but one end-link is - how to the Germans say it? - upgefuckt. I had a correspondence with the seller establishing that a while ago when we did a bulk deal for all of his decent Zenith GF bracelets...😗

Here are the ZO end links of the A792. Sorry, the Razr Maxx HD's camera is horrible:

 

[LouS]

Never mind the camera, that's a beautiful example. Integrated into original post....

Borrowed these images of ZA links from the site stamped on the photos:

Well spotted. Image integrated.

David, I would just for the sake of completeness, even though I think we decided they are the same as ZKMs.

Forthcoming..

Let's not forget the most expensive steel vintage Zenith, sporting the ZG end piece.

Question for the cognoscenti: I have a bracelet with ZR ends that measure 24mm...what would this fit? The bracelet is the solid linked variety, typical of the Espada and 381/2 refs..
grazie in advance

AKA the lobster bracelet

What is it with you and the freaky-deaky endpieces? First the ZK, and now Double-Wide ZRs. The ZR goes with the Ned Kelly cased Primeros and Defys, but at 22mm.
Are you measuring the endpiece itself or the last plate of the bracelet?
