A watch that took me two years to source! It's becoming increasingly difficult to find an original watch without the octagonal case being polished and on the original Gay Freres ladder bracelet, with the original screw down (signed) crown and clasp. I must say I am thrilled... A 300m Zenith Defy automatic 2552PC circa 1969
Thinking of my friends in Paris today, wishing you the best for #poleroutergtg2019, wishing I could be there with you. In friendship and solidarity.
Probably not a rare watch in its day, but certainly aren’t many around all these years later. Mine, amidst friends. Your’s is without the Wittnauer name on the red screen. That seems odd.
The baked on Wittnauer name had a tendency to wear off. This allows people like us - who know these watches- to recognize them despite the lack of markings. I paid $2.50 at an antique store! Nice collection by the way!
