A beauty!!!

: Dear all,

: we read much about the old funky Zenith Chronographs lately and it
: made me really crazy to see these beauties without having one
: myself. So I started the hunt. But it is even harder to find a
: nice El Primero, I'm talking about the ones, Lous was showing in
: his OTD-El-Primero-table, then finding a nice Heuer. And the
: prices are really crazy at the moment, so i presume, some other
: are searching, too.

: Now the question is, why am I writing all this stuff. Well, OTD and
: a hooked on relative of mine brought me to vintage watches. And
: the only brand I was looking for, was Heuer for quite a time.
: But lately I realised that are plenty of other fish in the sea,
: so I broadened my horizon and went for the Zenith.

: So it's a special watch for me in many ways. It's my first non
: Heuer vintage watch. Actually I bought another one first. But
: since then it's at the watchmaker, because it didn't work. The
: Zenith is also the first watch that I can track it's history to
: day one, because I got it from the first owner. The last special
: thing is, that the Zenith has the lowest production numbers of
: all watches in my tiny collection. Lous metioned the number of
: 1000 produced pieces. How many might have survived?

: I hope the first flickering love with this watch will develope to a
: long-term relationship. Because usually I'm very inconstant and
: some watches had to go very quick after a short time of
: enthusiasm. Just very few pieces could resist this process until
: now.

: Hope you like the watch as much as I do at the moment ;-)
