My, oh my!
Not bad at all, NOT AT ALL !
I could live with those, too. (Or die ...)
And, Lou, you know what, I like it that someone else besides Peter "dared" to show an "all three-selection" NOT including a HEUER. So far, I believe, you are the only two. And also, I believe this to be a very tolerant community regarding our watches, as the usual Friday-threads show and prove.
Well chosen! I don't own any of these, must say, but I would not refuse either one. ;-)

Cheers,
Olaf

: When compelled to whittle down to three, I regress to pieces from
: early in my obsession - it's a threesome that hasn't changed
: despite many watches acquired since that I like very much. Each
: of these was a formative addition to the collection, I remember
: the hunt/the find for each of these in detail and I still
: remember the thrill of putting them on my wrist with unusual
: clarity and vividness.

: 1. Zenith A 3818 - this was the watch that started me down the
: vintage path, chance find by a vintage watch ignoramus at an
: estate sale. Still the best example of this case that I have
: ever held.
: 2. Zenith A 386 - pictured here was my first of this reference. I
: have found better examples since but this was a coup de
: foudre.
: 3. Zenith Cairelli - big, clear and exotic, I have never found a
: tool watch with more panache.
