The "Original" is the one Zenith I'd someday like to buy. I especially like pic #'s 1, 3 and 4. Awesome collection!
: *deep breath* First, full disclosure, I'm replying as a
: dyed-in-the-wool Primero enthusiast, so call this biased if you
: like. Second, I thought Jeff did a very good job explicating
: this in the Project 99 writeup. Third, the official birthday of
: El Primero, celebrated January 10, 1969, honors the presentation
: of movement prototypes to the press, interestingly not yet with
: the El Primero moniker. Which movement gets honors as the actual
: first depends on what first you are referring to: First press
: conference (Zenith), first international press conference (March
: 3, 1969 - Buren-Breitling-Hamilton-Heuer), first broad panoply
: of finished watches (April 1969 - BBHH), first watches
: commercially available and delivered in local market (Seiko),
: first watches commercially available and delivered in
: international market (BBHH). Pick your first.
: Not a lot of Primero on this forum, so I hope you will allow me:
