While again developing from a completing collector to a collector having fun I'm selling a few watches I virtually do not wear. This is a Zenith El Primero chronograph, ref. G381. Around 1970 1000 pieces were made from this model. The case measures 38mm diameter. It was polished before I bought the watch. The edges and bevels of the lugs can still be detected and the attachments to the case are perfect. I'm pretty sure that Abel would be able to accentuate the original shapes (losing material, of course). I will let the buyer decide about a further refurbish. The movement, an early Zenith El Primero cal. 3019 PHC, is running strong and is working like it should. The chronograph operates smoothly and correctly. This piece comes on a strap with buckle, both signed Zenith. The watch is located in Germany/EC. I'm inviting offers around € 7,500, payment by wire transfer, no Paypal. Cheers, Mick
After further discussion of the watch and closer inspection I'm not so sure that the case was polished. It may also be simply used — Yellow Gold is a weak material. See the photos. Cheers, Mick
No no, I was just being tongue in cheek, kind of jokingly. Once again, GLWTS, I can see that we got MMMD, callalum and Lous who got this and hopefully another member in this forum will snatch this. @khmt2 ?
Apologies for the thread drift (or bump if you will), but what's a "completing collector" vs. a collector that's having fun? Someone who makes mandatory lists and rules vs. someone who has no list?
