Took me quite some time to buy my first Zenith but it was totally worth the wait, this one was just as you like a watch to appear, crappy photos, crappy crystal, but clean dial, hands, unpolished case and all original. LouS was awesome in helping land it from an eBay seller that didn't want to deal with Australia and he was absolute right about these, just a superbly comfortable and detailed watch.
I didn't actually realise from pictures how three dimensional the dial was and how much the subdials caught the light as its hard to see in photos, I can see now why you guys have been snapping them up.

The colours of the dial also work very well with my orange party shirt which is tremendous too.

Duuuuuude! Nice snag. 👍

…. and what a shirt! It reminds me of the old color tv sets when the vertical hold was out of whack. 😜 Now go get those cuffs starched. 😁

That's a nice one. Congrats! What I love about the A386 is it works with any strap. Seriously, throw the most ridiculous strap you have on it and somehow it just works.

If Lou was advising, it's not a "360" unless Ash has really upset him.

Nice one Ashley! I've wanted one on a GF bracelet ever since I saw Gavin's at our GTG but haven't quite found the right one at the right priCE. It's a killer watch - photos can't capture all of its awesomeness

I think I've got a GF bracelet and endlinks lined up from a member here, should have it before too long
