Totally new to Zenith but looking to expand my little collection into new-to-me makes. Any thoughts or advice on this era of Zenith Sporto? I see ranges from low 100s to just over 1k in some cases on the market. Any known details besides the usual (polishing, etc.) that are known and common to these? Thinking I'd like to ease into these and go from there, sort of like my basic Formula 1 eased me into TAG-Heuer (albeit modern examples).

Thanks!

 

I would suggest try starting with a Turtle

The AutoSport Luxe range provides great bang for buck.

 

Both of these have given me a lot to look over. That blue and white bullseye 28800 is particularly beautiful to my tastes, wristpirate!

 

I would buy this watch ( in the link ) or the Blue and White Autosport Luxe in a heartbeat in that condition
Anybody have one they want to sell?

Some members hoarding them but they are out there.

 

I have an itch for that blue watch now

 

Wow the AutoSport Luxe examples look fantastic.
I own a Zenith AutoSporto as well. I know that it is a redial but it was gifted to me by my father, so sentimental value trumps originality.Besides i think it’s a nice watch nevertheless.

 

Also they come in Red and black

( he has a trifecta photo of some great examples but I couldn’t find it )

 

The black is a real looker!
OK, who is hoarding these out there?

 

@LouS has all the good Zenith’s

 

@STANDY

alle of them are fantastic! I think, I like the white/blue the most
