Zenith resources

I think I am itching for a couple of zeniths. Any Suggestions on the better resource sites to learn from before I dive in? Although if a mango shows up for sale somewhere it’s coming home with me regardless of which kidney has to go or my knowledge level. 😀

The book from Manfred Roesler is a good resource but in German - not sure if an English version exists.

Here is the review on the book "Zenith - Präzisionsuhren seit 1865".
It's the big version covering plenty of zenith calibers and also clocks.

If you focus only on El primero (assuming as you mentioned Mango) there is a smaller version also from Roesler named "El Primero -der Chronograph"

Thanks! I think the Elite is the first one I am interested in but will be on the lookout for this book to dig in. And Hopefully I will find the book for something south of the $4,000 amazon had a copy listed for... but I will spend more than 12 seconds looking

I sourced a copy for 400 euros, but I think you can find it for 800 any time. Crazy price for English version. German is available for 120.

I just kept searching until I found one for 80 bucks. 😀
