·Found this nice Zenith 18k Chronometre early 50’s it’s not the 135 movement no movement pic
is maybe the 126.6 movement ? Great dial and original crown !
I'm far from a vintage Zenith expert, but the dial leaves me doubting ... There's a fairly nasty "rash" at the "9", and with the "10", the first digit (the "1") doesn't look straight to me. I would also say the font on "Chronometre" and "Zenith" doesn't look right.
Maybe someone else can weigh in with their opinion.

Thanks, I was a little too enthusiastic the dial clearly has some issues still don’t know which movement is inside I purchased a similar watch three years ago also 18 K gold with a 12 4 P 6 movement late 40’s confirmed to be genuine inscription here is correct ! I will skip this one !

·I own this Zenith S58 which I find super cool and that is in great condition, but I realised I rarely wear it and I now consider selling it.
I find the pricing a bit tricky with very few objects being out for sale. I noticed there one s58 for sale on the forum that just came out but I consider mine being in a better condition.
May I ask you zenith vintage experts what a reasonable asking price would be?
The watch runs and keeps the time well. Service history unknown. And I guess that unsigned crown is a service replacement?
Thanks in advance!

·What movement does yours have. Not 100% sure but I don’t think the crown was necessarily signed Z

I’m not entirely sure. This is the only picture I have of the movement.

Looks like it’s stamped 2532PC.

Try checking completed sales on eBay. A couple s58s just went there in the last few weeks or so I believe. One of as at around $6k if I recall?

·Any info about this model? Two-tone champagne dial with applied markers
mid 1940s would be my estimate. Do you have a movement pic?

·I have had a few of those Zeniths marked Chronometre and a few similar ones not so marked, and I have often wondered what it meant?
Given the generally high quality nature of Zeniths, does anyone know if the ones marked Chronometre are indeed Chronometer calibre?
Or could it have been a marketing ploy to boost sales in certain specialised markets? Obviously a company with the quality of Zenith wouldn't have needed or dared to do this for the Swiss market! But I wonder if that would apply to, for example, the Brazilian market at the other end of the earth?
And yes, I have noticed that this question does not necessarily relate to the jewel-numbering wars or the desperate race-to-the-bottom attempts to compete with the Quartz.
