Zenith A788 - circa 71/72

 

Trusty Timex for the evening and I totally agree with @8926ob fantastic time keeping

 

That bezel is worth today what the watch was 15 years ago. Beautiful. Very envious.

 

That is a fantastic fit against the lugs. Just await the day I can buy one at retail as I have the strap.

 

Surf and Turf

I am in Jamaica with my family for our first real vacation since Covid. When in the pool and on the beach I am wearing my Mudmaster. Out for dinner or the bars at night I am wearing my Speedmaster. It's been a masterful combo for me this week and worked out well.

 

Uh-huh Honey lay offa mah shooz

Clearly, the Mark III hooded lugs were not intended to be used with pass-through straps.


But tonight I'm hell-bent on making this work! With the strap in place, and smashing the spring bars in there, the wrap-around effect is so tight that nothing slides or even budges!






Yah...this is the imagery that comes to mind!


YaY!!!

 

I had similar difficulties fitting a NATO to my “Flat Jedi” Seamaster, but it was worth the effort.
And yes, zero movement.

 

Just received this special piece complete with original signed crystal, original date stamped bracelet, and the best part is the Zenith El Primero under the hood. The dual toned Bakelite bezel is a real treat too. From 1970

 

Vintage quartz..

 

Presage tonight.
