but where's the fun in that?

Yes, once when seller sold the watch to someone else two days AFTER I bought it in a Buy-It-Now deal, and again when seller refused refund (that was assured in the listing) for a watch that was...

Can anyone point me to some good spots?

Thanks in advance

I really applaud this sentiment.

The watch is a beauty!

Great! Another enabling thread, wherein I realize I am no more crazy than many others, thereby disinhibiting me from further reckless spending...

Forty-one in, seven out.

No. They are larger by about 2-3mm across. They have a more massive, ingot-like feel but are appealing in their own way as can clearly be seen from ASW1's pics. The vintage wears lightly, hardly to...

Between this and your other two threads, the best darn pictures of this series on the web. And I think this was one of the best heritage model runs ever, all the better as they are not slavish copies...

A great set - not a mediocre one in the bunch - each is superb. Enjoy 'em!

Funny, I'd have thought someone would say 'Primero' by now. They are not shoddy, and I dig 'em

a darned unpleasant one at that. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall at the marketing meeting that signed off on that.

Best of the Zenith New Vintage 1969 series - and that series is the best thing Zenith did under Nataf. Nothing beats chocolate brown and rose gold, and limited to 250 pieces. Superb buy. Now get rid...

Here is a list of watches that have used El Primero:

Needs more crowns

Zackly right. It looks like a franken coming out of the factory. Combines design cues from different eras - rose logo with 1950s look of the dial with snowflake hands and a bezel color from who knows...

Datrons (stealth Primeros)...

My understanding of the logos as follows

to mid-late 1960's:
Dial - five pointed star
Crown - Z-in-five pointed star
Buckle - plain or Z in five pointed star

mid-late 1960s to 1971 or 72...

It is a function of the movement. The 1/10th of a second hand is a complication not available prior to this watch, so the answer is no, it doesn't stutter on the vintage ones, but they are not the...

Don't know if this is what you had in mind, but:
