Zenith hand wind. $27. GF case. It's not working but the movement likely only needs a cleaning. All I the parts seem to be in good shape.

For $27, you did well.

joe100 · 5 November 2011, 01:45 PM

Thats what I thought. Just needs a service.

cedargrove · 6 November 2011, 12:16 AM

What's the size of that watch? Any pics of the movement?

joe100 · 6 November 2011, 01:40 AM

Movement pics to come soon, it's about 22mm or so. Smallish yeah

cedargrove · 6 November 2011, 03:49 AM

Sure it's small, but worth having for the price. Too small for me, but my wife would wear as a dress watch.

I have cufflinks with Bulova watch movements on them. It would cool to have ones with brands I love such as Rolex or Zenith. Rolex ones would make for pretty expensive cufflinks, but I'm sure the movement from a watch like yours would work well. Not to suggest one should pull apart their watches to make cufflinks, but if it wasn't going to get much wear on the wrist, then why not the cuff.

I don't know how you managed to get that watch for 27$ but I must congratulate you on that move! It's quite a vintage beauty and I'm sure your sister will love it!
