I'm all for non sequiturs and am aware we have a certain reputation for thread-jacks, but just give me a little insight into the workings of the Stewart H brain - how does this fit into the thread?

Cued up nicely by 3500's previous thread

Ah, right-o - the Dufour quote! You are more awake that I.

Is that yours? Love the 911. I do hold with Richard Hammond, though. Porsche should only make 911's, and the only question a Porsche dealer should ask a prospective buyer is: "Red or black?".
For Zenith, I would support a bit more variety in the product line.

OK, back to watches. Here is an interesting one from Pakistan:

FrankenSport

AutoSport dial and hands, without the C-shaped AutoSport case. "28800" on the dial, but a 21600 2552pc under the hood.

Indeed it is. Sports cars are the only thing more guaranteed to keep you poor than a taste for watches.

I like white though... They do need to remove the targa, the cabrio, and there shouldn't be an S, the S specifications should be a given. The auto also shouldn't be an option, you use three pedals or you drive a Honda IMO.

White/Silver are the historical german national racing colors - of course they look good on a Porsche, just like a red Ferrari, green Jaguar, blue Alpine Renault or Bugatti, etc.

Sorry, I made up the red/black choice. Actual quote:

May: so in Hammond's Britain, would everybody who wanted to buy a Porsche be forced to buy the 911?
Hammond: yes. you'd walk into a shop and i'd say, "i'd like to buy a Porsche please" and they'd say, "certainly sir, what colour would you like?"

I get all excited when I spot an S.58 the moment if hits the 'Bay... and it always turns out to be a redial from Argentina.

Well, it was on eBay this AM until I snagged it on a whim:

A cal 106 from 1941-42 with a funky dial that I hadn't seen before. I think not a redial, unless maybe it belonged to a bored Japanese POW with a lot of free time on his hands.

Ah, the rare General Tso's Zenith. Certainly looks authentic. Will be curious what that dial looks like under the loupe.

That's it! It's American Chinese Restaurant Menu font! With chopstick hands! I think maybe I was just hungry... and now I feel like I could buy another one.

Original or not, I think that dial is quite charming.

That was my thought, and the price was right. 😀

I like this one. Have we seen it before, recently? Looks correct. Case bevels look pretty sharp. Reluming is a little on the yellow side, a minor point to me. Service crown, not a biggie. I like the box around 'PHC' on the chrono bridge... I associate this feature with early production runs, though I can't remember exactly where I've seen it... on a LouS EP, I think.
