how about this one? I just put a bid on it... http://www.ebay.com/itm/300982311447Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
I was only just wandering thru the Zenith aisle on EBAY and I got a little bit of sticker shock. They really think that a 40's stainless steel manual wind Zenith with a dirty sub dial is worth a thou'? seriously?
No, but they probably think an automatic 1969 original (as far as I can tell) Zenith El Primero A384 is worth a $1000 (at least). Aside from the faded dial (which some find attractive) it looks in very good condition. I'd set the over/under at $3,000. And I'm taking the over. If he shipped international, you might have some competition...
Here's another one in case you miss the first one. Nicer dial but case looks like it's been touched up. I think I bid on this one before actually. The final bid was just over $3k but didn't meet his reserve. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Vintage-Zeni...82?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item20d94ff73e&_uhb=1Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
No shill. The winner is legit - I'll take the opportunity to congratulate him. It is indeed a record, and for a very fine example of an A 384. as it is a record, I take the opportunity to fix the images for the forum. This a really good example of how one of these cases should look in its unpolished state.
It was a lot for a 384. That said, I love tropical dials and these are hard to come by to say the least. Dial is almost perfectly faded with small shade blemish on minute register. Beyond that case is in excellent shape. I am a happy man. hope everyone enjoying their weekend Jamey
