    Hi OF,

    I'm buying this pocket watch as a gift and I was just wondering if anyone can tell me the originality of the watch? Looks pretty good and original for my un-trained eyes, but again I have no knowledge at all of pocket watches. And perhaps if someone can dated back the year from the serial number inside the caseback?

    I am not even remotely versed in Zeniths but that is one beautiful pocket watch.

    It certainly looks to be all original.

    What a gift!

    Would you mind sharing what do you think seems to be the issues?

    Thanks for that! So do you reckon I might have some issues in the future as well because of the replacement crown?

    That's nice mate, especially with those numerals!


    Anyone else would like to chime in?

    Sydney. Would you have any photo of a similar watch that has a similar crown to the correct one for this Zenith?

    Zenith 3 million series started in the 30's, so I guess your date from that time to. That was the highlight era of the Art Deco style. Very stylish. :thumbsup:

    But I don´t know about your crown. Is it pushed down at pics?
