Hi everyone! Sharing some new arrivals that I've had the luck to grab these past few months.

After a brief sojourn to El Primero land in 2016, 2017 has seen me going back to my 1st love for Zeniths - their 50s/60s hand-wound specialities!

1st up, a cal 135 SS Port Royal. The dial and hands show some signs of age, but the unpolished looking case convinced me!



Next, the watch that Hodinkee/Zenith's collaboration was based on - a Grey dial cal 146D. It's so hard to capture the tinge and variation in colour but this dial is really magical in the way it goes from dark grey to purplish blue in the right light!



Lastly, another chrono, this time round a cal 146HP powered AH2711. When I first came across this variant, I had my suspicions that it was a franken. However, thanks to @longlifegoods, we now have confirmation from Zenith of its authenticity. This needs to go to a spa for pushers and servicing.



Some shots with the rest of the posse.





Thanks for watching!

 

Zenithmania and stylish looking!

 

Lovely pair! Congratulations!

 

Good golly, that Port Royal.

 

The grey 146D... Yum! Congrats man on another fine trio!

 

Incredible watches buddy !!

 

Those chronos are really beautiful. Wear them in good health!

 

Wonderful! I am now slightly concerned that all of the good 146s are going to be in your collection before I can buy one.

 

Simply.Amazing!!!
