FS: Zenith El Primero 31j A385 Fume/Smoke/Grey w/ GF Ladder Brac

offering up this rare Zenith El Primero 31jewel A385 with GF ladder bracelet...

purchased a few years ago from the original owner’s son (and worn infrequently since)... one of the nicest smoke/fume/grey dials and handsets for this reference that I have seen... ~2400 pieces produced ’69-’71... the case was polished in the past by an overzealous jeweler, the beveled edges remain but the dual brushed/polished finish is gone... 2 small dings on left side of case at beveled edges... also looks like one of the pushers was replaced at some point... and time setting is a little tricky... hand winding at 1st position is fine and date-set at 3rd position is fine, but the middle 2nd position time-set is ‘slippery’... other than that, a very nice looking example, keeps good time and all chrono functions work properly... a trip to the maestro's spa in BE would work wonders for this rare beauty!!

also included is full GF ladder bracelet dated 4/71, but unfortunately does not come with any end-pieces :(

$3995 OBRO for this rare Zenith reference... International shipping possible

thanks to Jeff & CT for the space!
please email w/ any questions...
cheers,
Peter
