    It doesn't rain, it pours.....

    Hot on the heals of my last new arrival, this puppy has just landed :D . A few quick 'n dirties pending some time out later in the week to do some proper ones during daylight - I give you the Zenith 'Original' Vintage 1969 El Primero Chronograph. A limited run of 500 released to celebrate 40 years of the El Primero movement (I think) - more here http://www.thewatchquote.com/Zenith-El- ... o_6991.htm

    The French language version of the same page has a wizzy video of the watch and movement http://www.lacotedesmontres.com/Zenith- ... o_6991.htm).

    I'd stand in that type of rain all day 8)

    That, OP, is a stunning watch and looks great on. Congrats.

    Does it have the same El Primero as the striking 10th?

    Looks awesome and a nice limited edition - unlike Omega and their usual 1957-10,000 pieces!
    It's just a matter of time...

    Stunning Zenith, my favourite Zenith and I'm extremely jealous.
    I think this is a fantastic limited edition vintage reissue, looks perfect.


    Enjoy in good health

    Re: It doesn't rain, it pours.....

    That is lovely. Huge congrats.

    Had an opportunity to pick one of them up about a couple of years ago.... I'd probably pick the Vintage 1969 in the tri-colour sub dial version too.

    I understand it has been discountuined?

    Right Alun, that is enough. Leave some watches for other people to buy, they don't start crying if you don't bring them home you know.

    Another fine example Sir, it will fit in nicely ( well,get jammed in ) with the rest of your amazing collection.

    How nice is that? Well done, a really really fantastic watch.
    I was looking at the gold one the other day and I have to say the steel simply outclasses it!

    That is very nice, I'm on the hunt for a Zenith either the 38mm 36k VPH (Tri colour) or the 1969, Striking 10 is out of my reach unless I look around Chrono24 but then I'm taking a risk.

    Love this one and have often been tempted to pick one up. Is it pre-owned or from an AD?

    I've seen nothing but good come out of Zenith since Thierry Nataf left after seeing a 25% decrease in sales.
