I knew that price was about $1000 or more lower than market. Time to report that.

Near-Zenith here - looks to be in good shape but for replaced crown. !7 jewel version of El Primero.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, this genius has polished away any vestiges of finish or case definition from this Defy, and is trying to sell the equally mutilated bracelet separately.

Proof that shiny is not necessarily good

Ah, the delicate touch of a bench-grinder with buffing wheels, and maybe a beer (or ten).

Port Royal up to nearly $5,000 now, going off in 3 hours

I've looked at the photos closely... am I missing a platinum hallmark on this thing?

Could be Cal 135s are going up... could also be some hard shilling

I thought I saw someone note this previously but cannot find it here:

http://www.ebay.de/itm/ZENITH-Chronograph-Caliber-146dp-Swiss-MADE-Anno-ca-1960-1970-/230928367250

Aside from the bent central seconds hand and the, ahem, non-Zenith lever spring in the movement, I cannot find other faults with it. Other than it may have been trashed inside by whomever "serviced" it last.

Comments?

bent second hand and mediocre redial. These never came in white, but rather only with a silver dial. Plus the ridiculous paper-clip repair. Garbage.

That was straight-up cray cray. Check out the interesting Polerouter he's hawking... I posted it on the UG eBay thread.

At least you can still buy the minute recorder jumper. That is one hell of a bodge - I bet that watchmaker is proud of himself.

Was thinking this might have been a special edition for the Vatican, given that priesthood inscription. 😀

Retirement is all the rage in that field just now. I'm sure there is a market for watches for the occasion
