Incoming - Zenith El Primero 1969 original

Hi all,

Absolutely ecstatic to add this one - I have been collecting watches for over 15 years including Patek, Lange, AP & Breguet and still wowed by this one!

Perfect proportions, 38mm diameter with an unbelievable beautiful dial and legendary movement.

To top it off I have had the matching wall clock for a few years so this incoming was long overdue!

This is also my second Zenith wristwatch and can’t recommend the brand enough.

Please enjoy some pictures…

Awesome find!
I have found 38mm is now my favourite size watch.

Thanks all! It is actually really nice to be wearing 38mm especially when I have been recently wearing 41/42mm. The smaller size just looks more refined and classy.
