    What is M.R.A.? (can't tell if I'm looking forward more to the helpful answers or the wise-ass ones)

    Two South American Zeniths, the gold one with a local case:

    You would think a physician would be familiar with a MRA watch, even if they only dealt with temperamental divas. :rolleyes:

    Something to do with the fact it's a manual wind?

    Interesting that the eBay listing shows that the seller is located in Uruguay, but charges sales tax to Florida residents.

    I believe the dial is original, though.

    Office in Miami, perhaps?

    If it were one of those hubcap U-boat or Panerais, it would stand for My Rist Aches.

    LouS is going have to scrape up some research funding for me soon. This mystery-solving ain't easy. Except for the Film-Pax thing... that was cake. ;)

    MMMD would seem to be on to something. I found this listing for a watch that has a box from "Maestros Relojeros Asociados"

    Based on the Spanish forum post and this eBay listing, I would say that "MRA" would have been the Argentine importer for Zenith, rather than the retailer.

    And here are the envelopes:

    Best Useful Answer: tie between MMMD for "Maestros Relojeros Argentinos" and gatorcpa for photographic documentation of "Maestros Relojeros Asociados"

    Best Wiseass Answer: also MMMD, for "Masterfully Redialed Again"

    Tune in next week for another episode.....
