Background
This was my first ever vintage chronograph purchased from a fellow OFer in 2020 and worn on rotation about once a month though in the past 6 months it has hardly been taken out of the dry box. Its a lovely vintage chrono but I've decided to let go as part of a greater plan to consolidate my lesser worn pieces.

Details
  • Zenith Two Register Chronograph
  • Stainless steel
  • Movement: cal156D
  • Case size (without crown): 38mm
  • Case + crystal thickness: 12.5mm
  • Lug width: 20mm
  • Comes with a hardly worn brown textured calfskin strap from Veblenist as seen in the second picture below.
Service
  • Serviced by previous owner Sept 2017
Condition report (pictures also form part of the description)
  • Dial has turned to a light yellowish gold with very even patina seen. The close up photos bring out the patina a lot more clearly though I do not find it as obvious with my naked eye. Numbers and markings still very well seen.
  • Crystal is quite clean apart from a small light scratch in the middle that I've tried my best to include a picture (last picture below)
  • Case and lugs: scratches from regular watch wear and still retains its facets without signs of significant polishing
  • Dent and ding at area for caseback opening
  • Zenith star crown
  • Chronograph starts, stops and resets without issue.
  • Manual winding is smooth
  • Keeps time fairly well though I have not regulated it.
Price/Payment
Asking price is USD 2550 OBO
Payment via Wise (formerly TransferWise), I would prefer to receive funds in Singapore Dollars (SGD).
Price above includes the Veblenist strap and Fedex International Priority shipping with full insurance coverage which I will arrange on my end.

If you would just like the watch head and arrange shipping on your end - I would be happy to lower the price accordingly 馃榾

I will not be accepting returns so please ask as many questions as you like and happy to take additional videos as requested

Watch is located in Singapore and am on IG as tockingclock.
