    Hi fellow members,

    Even when this is mainly an Omega forum you can´t pass by a Zenith cal. 135 chronometre - it is a must have in every vintage watch collection...

    Gold specimens are rare as hen´s teeth and rarely seen for offer below 10K

    The watch case has full British hallmarks and the stamp ZWCo which stands for Zenith Watch Company

    Diameter is about 34.3 mm - it is about the size of a common Seamaster

    It is 9C gold and it shows a nice rose hue - evenly patinated - but I decided to keep it as is.

    The new owner can polish it himself if he wants a "o shiny" watch, but not me...

    When I bought the watch it came with this dial:

    I must confess I am not an expert on Zenith chronometres but I know a little about Omega 30 Rg-chronometres.

    With Omega chronometres the chronometre wording must sit below the logo, not below the word Omega - I do not know if it is the same with Zenith. So I had been in doubt about the originality of the dial - but maybe I was wrong?
    Maybe Zenith is different and there are both versions of lettering legit?

    I searched for some time and found a 100% original dial for replacement which is in very nice condition.

    It is slightly aged and shows that kind of light patina collectors appreciate - a very nice egg shell colour.
    But judge by yourself:

    some reflexions on the crystal, so I add a photo with removed bezel

    You can chose! Just let me know which of the dial you want - or maybe you want both?

    Here some additional pics from different angles and the hallmarks

    movement was not serviced recently (watch is a safe queen)

    Overall condition is very nice, some small marks on the case as may be expected on a watch this vintage.

    Comes on a new lizard strap in nice colour which matches perfectly with the style of the watch.

    I hate to see this leave but it does not get enough wrist time and I must accumulate some cash for a next money heavy project...

    I am looking for € 5500 net to me.

    Payment by bank transfer (from people I don´t know and from noobs) - paypal (for friends) is OK from members I know.

    Shipping at cost - depending on destination and shipping method/insurance, etc. - this must be discussed and specified with the new owner.

    For further questions send me a PM

    Thank you OF for the space
