    Hi guys,

    if you're looking for a modern watch with an iconic movement and in a medium sized case, then browse through these pictures. This one fits the bill quite well!

    This watch is in a very good to excellent condition, with only a handful wearing signs (as far as I noticed there's one on the bottom right lug and another on the end link near 6 o'clock). The movement is keeping great time and everything resets as it should - service history is unknown.
    The bracelet is currently sized for my 6.7 inch wrist and I do have one extra link available.

    Here are the specs:
    Reference: 03-2150-400-21-M2150 or 03.2150.400/21.M2150
    Automatic Movement (El Primero 400)
    Diameter: 38mm
    Thickness: 13mm
    Sapphire Crystal
    Display Back
    Water Resistant to 100 Meters

    The watch is sold as is, no box or papers.


    If you would want higher resolution pics, just drop me a pm.

    Asking 3,350$ net to me (or the equivalent in Euros).

    I have a couple positive reviews here as a seller, and I have been buying/ selling/ trading watches for several years now to fellow watch enthusiasts from all across the globe ( US, Canada, Australia, Netherlands, Croatia, Austria, UK, Turkey, Cyprus, Norway etc just to name a few) and everything went really well (including customs ;) ). More than glad to provide extra references upon request.

    Nice watch @George.A !

    Can I ask you and/or @LouS as I'm a Zenith noob - is this case the same as the 38mm Zenith A386 reissue?

    This watch is tempting me, but I'm cognizant of the fact that when I tried the A836 reissue it wore unexpectedly large on my skinny wrist.

    Thanks, @NT931 !

    I don't have both watches to compare them side by side. However, looking at the specs, they do seem to be the same. And from a manufacturing perspective it makes more sense to just replace the dial and keep everything else the same, so I would bet it's the same case. Maybe @LouS or others who compared both live can confirm.

    From my experience as a brother from another mother in terms of skinny wrists :), I can say it wears fairly comfortable due to the rather short lugs. It does take me a couple of minutes to get used to the new perspective when I switch from a 34mm one to this one or to a larger 40mm chrono or back, but I think these little perspective changes are some of the good spices of life.

    Yes, it is definitely the same case, movement etc. so if that was large then this would be as well- with that said, the 38mm wears like a 40MM Daytona (which is technically 39mm anyway). These are great values compared to Rolex and Omega chronos- you lose a bit of cache, but gain plenty of history, quality and aesthetic value IMO.
