Brilliant purchase. This reference (A 386) is one of the three best of the early El Primeros, and the one that everyone thinks of when they think early El Primero. It's so identified with the movement that Zenith itself has riffed on it for a historical reissue and the new Striking 10th.
If my experience is any guide, you will love it. And not that this is the prime consideration of anyone who collects from the heart, but they are appreciating in value at a good clip.
Here's my other favorites, the A 3818:
and the gold version of the A 386 case, the ref. G 381 (don't mind the cockeyed tachymeter):
: Hi all!
: Managed to land this early el primero zenith. Very beautiful watch.
: Never thought I could like a zenith nearly as much as a Heuer...
: Cheers jan
