Zenith made/makes a high quality chronograph. I am guessing that is an 18k case.
Older chronographs are not as robust as a newer watch.

Appears to be a 1950's watch.

Value. Watch ebay, here is a smiliar one that is pretty beat up.

Cant help you on were to get serviced in NY.

And there are many places to get a watch band, it just depends on what style and quality you want. Internet, jewelry store or Wal mart.

I meant similar in style, not condition.
Yours is in much better condition, and I would think would bring double or more than the one that sold.

Very sharp watch. Probably most of $1,000 to service, if there is no big wear/damage inside.

Brought the watch into Tournea - they are gonna send it to zenith to get conditioned. It’s a pretty rare chrono so happy I found it as part of my collection
