Reply With QuoteNo idea sorry but just wanted to say what a lovely lovely watch.
Devastated I was.
Sad to say I knocked it off a work surface and it landed ‘fare and square’ on the crown…BANG.
The surface was thin carpet tile on a concrete floor……’Oops’ that sound expensive I thought.
The watch is working fine, but when the crown is turned there is an intermittent popping sound :( as if the stem is catching on something.
I have emailed Duncan of Genesis, he's previously serviced the watch and replaced the rotor, to get a quote for service, light polish and the repair.
Anyone have any idea as to what could be damaged?

Thank you, not to everyones taste, some call them 'ghost watches'...Dial, hands etc all one colour, in this case silver.Originally Posted by markbannister
Not sure what could be wrong, but I'd suggest hacking the movement, just to prevent whatever's causing that popping sound from causing any other poppings to occur.
It's a lovely piece, and not one I've ever seen before.
Hope the fix is not too difficult / expensive. I too think it’s a super looking watch.
No help to you, but damn, that's pretty. Hope you get it sorted!
That sounds serious I’m afraid. They’ll probably have to replace the movement, case, dial, hands and crystal. The good news is the strap should be OK.
(fingers crossed it’s a simple fix!)
That is a lovely watch, good luck with the fixing.
I agree about it being a lovely watch. I have recently decided that I really like dress watches with applied numerals, and am actively looking for an example to buy; this Zenith fits the bill, so let's see what their current offerings are like...
[A short while later] Sadly, all the current Zenith Elite models seem to be batons only.

Sorry to hear that... quite remarkable that there's barely any visible dings. Hope it's an easy fix
