For any vintage fans Zenith from the 50s.
This is a great find have put a bid in myself,very rare now 18kt Zenith 135 chronometer.Just look at the size of that balance,
its got to be one of the biggest in a wrist watch.And in them
yesterdays think Zenith was a very underrated company.

The 135-movement is claimed to be the one of best wristwatch-movement ever made,and it looks all original,dial is perfect.

Mikie Likes!!! How much? Can a green tree frog handle such a thick watch?

padi56 · 9 November 2005, 08:15 PM

Well Mikie its a fantastic watch but has now gone over my Max bid
of 1200 Euro.

Very nice dress watch. Classic lines. With 4 days to go and the bidding is already up to 1200 Euros, you know it's got to go over 2500. Keep watching it, though. You neve know whether at the end you might be able to stretch a bit for that beauty.

Well Ed I but my bid in max 1200 but its gone past that yes think it will
bring 2000 Euro.That movement is superb IMO one of the best thats out there,even going on todays movements all brands.

That's the problem. You bid much too early. You really shouldn't start bidding until there's 5 minutes or less to go. Serious bidders start jumping in at about 3 minutes or less, unless they've put in a max bid so far above anyone else that no one is going to come close to touching them. But that takes the fun out of it.

Yeah I won't bid until the very end. Man, that is a beautiful watch!

Well Ed on the Bay I only bid once,just put my max bid in.What I am willing to pay and it then bids for me up to my max bid.Then ebay informs me if I have been outbid,and if I want to increase my bid.My max price is never shown, only as the highest bidder,until out bid.The movements were used in the Swiss Observatory competitions conducted between 1945 and 1967 a much higher standard than the COSC.
