Hi Styggpyggeno,
very nice watch.
Two weeks ago I saw at a watch fair a Zenith with the same SS case and a grey dial (!) signed with the Zenith star ,the words Zenith automatic under the 12 and the word Captain at six.
The original Zenith movement was signed with the jewel count and the word chronometer on the rotor.
I never saw such a Zenith dial before!
Was it a fake?
Reiner

Used to have a grey one but it might not be the kind you saw?

Hey, a Tissolerouter!

Wait, have I made that joke before? Did we have a thread on old homage watches?

This is my "time to bust some heads Capone-style in a committee meeting" watch.

I've noticed that the great watch manufacturers really seem to hit their stride at about 100 years. 馃槈

I don't always wear a watch two days in a row, but when I do, I prefer Cairelli.
Stay WISsy, my friends.

There's a lot of truth to that. Some of my favorite models are the anniversary editions. Longines' had a couple models called the Anniversary, one of which is automatic (Anniversary A) that I own, another manual wind that LouS has a primo example that I've been trying to con him out of for over a year. Norm has another automatic version of it that's friggin' MINT. I've got a beater of it and have been dropping not so subtle hints to him that I want to buy his too. Watch - I'll be flat broke when both of them decide to sell.
