    I have seen one full set from an italian seller silver wing who sold one not so long ago for 7000€. 7000€ is if it is full set with everything inner box, outer box, papers user's manual, purchase invoice and service invoice. 3500€-5000€ if without papers and overhauled and sometimes with papers but you will rarely see one like this poping again for a such price.
    Here is one for sale with everything at 6000€

    How thick is the Zenith DeLuca in millimeters and how long is the case from end of lugs at 12 to to end of lugs at 6 (like the 48mm measurement on the Speedy below)?

    I don’t have the exact measurements but the De Luca is definitely shorter on lug length and smaller diameter. The primary different is lug width at 22mm vs 20mm

    Thanks for sharing the pictures ! :):thumbsup: Looking at the side by side pictures looks like the Zenith is less thick than the Speedy

    I own a rare black transitional de Luca. Its a great size and shape and clearly undervalued compared to other similar vintage chronos out there. fullsizeoutput_57f.jpeg

    What does "FS!" mean?

    5 or 6 years ago I had about 6 De Luca's and decided the were to late for my collection. Most were NOS or close. They were difficult to sell and achieved €2-2500. But no series ones they were always a bit of a premium and more difficult to source.
