Incoming...

I should be adding my second Zenith to the collection in a few days and it is one I have been looking for, for quite a while. I am talking about the spectacular and colorful Rainbow Fly-Back

For whatever reason these have appreciated quite a lot recently and mint ones with b/p are getting really hard to find.

Will post a few shots when it is in my hands. Stay tuned

No, didn't you get my mail about it being sold? A shame though as I was looking forward to you helping me out

Had to pay more for this, but came with box and papers and is in very good condition.

Very nice Chris, a special looking timepiece that one is!

Congratulations!

Thanks Carl! Special indeed!


It is certainly colorful and not for everyone, but very much floats my boat. I have also completely fallen in love with the El Primero movement. First with the Triple Date Moonphase Chronomaster and now this one with the Flyback function. Not that I need it, but when was that ever a requirement

Here's a slight better pic... still need a better camera than an iphone and much better skills!

Incredible how deceiving pictures can be. The lug to lug length of only 46mm is well within the width of my wrist, but looks like it is right at the edge. In reality it wears much smaller and is perfect for my preference.
