Today I rediscovered the fine execution of this dial on this Zenith El Primero ref. A788 (or 01.170.415).

The grain on the dial nicely corresponds to the brushing of the small case.

This watch was sold on a plain metal bracelet, but looks good on a strap, too.


Enjoy,


Mick

I doubt it the first Rolex Quick sets that worked like that was about 1980, maybe a bit earlier. AFAIK they had it first.

I'll have to give that a shot next time!
@Foo2rama
I stand corrected, not got a date on mine. So I described how I set my Omega chronostop and Seiko kinetic. Though they are both more recent movements. But not sure if they are classed as quickset?

@abrod520
If nothing else enjoy your lovely watch.
I forgot my usual caveat. Being a noob treat anything I utter with a pinch of salt. After all I am just as excitable as a labradoodle or a small child. Just eager to learn.

The year before last we got $700 (X4) per ticket to be bumped off from ATL to SNA . The kids hated it,but $2800 paid for last years vacation.

Looks like Meghan s Bay in STT. So nice there.
That is correct my friend. Great times. The water shot was actually from trunk bay in St. John. But the drink picture is definitely Magans.

I was saying goodbye to one of my favorite watches and ended up keeping it.
I麓ll post the story on a new thread.
