Please read my post carefully. Not using that Big Lemon image as an example to back up black hands on an A3630. Just stating the the hands are not repainted as this handset was manufactured by Zenith in black colour for other divers.
You don't know that to be the case. They could have been original, oxidized steel hands that were over-painted.
Nor does the other poster stating that they were repainted black.
The salient point is that there is no compelling evidence that such hands were ever originally fitted on the A3630. Whether the hands shown were transplanted from another model or repainted is of little importance.
Cool story bro...
If you lack a thoughtful response, it's usually best not to respond at all.
Black hands was used in colors dial with black index
Relax. You seem keen to argue about a topic which was discussed and pretty much concluded in this thread over two years ago.
The only conclusion that an objective reader of the thread might have is that there has been no remotely compelling evidence that any A3630 divers left the factory with black painted hands.
If you agree with that, and are only pointing out that they were used on other models, then there is no need to argue at all.
This is my vintage Zenith I love more but I think 5k is a very high price compared with forse El primero’s like a384-5
Well, that is the current market. Collectors sometimes pay close to €1k for the bracelet alone!
Also, consider that good examples do not appear on the market frequently, and are typically sold quickly.
I think you are rigth, the watch is really beatiful. Some years ago the price were very lower.
I’m not particulary happy of this price, I’m looking for other 2/3 references and I think it will be difficoult to find good watches and low prices
