Vintage Zenith watches are not that rare but they can be on the pricey side of vintage watches. Of course, their top-of-the-line El Primero are among the more desirable (and expensive) pieces that speak of the pedigree of these watches. I guess that pedigree is what makes their watches collectibles while maintaining very decent resale values.

The watch features a square tropicalized dial and a date complication at the 4:30 mark (lower right corner of the dial)

I initially planned to just flip this watch but up close and personal it turned out really nice, especially after I changed the straps. I decided to keep it and sent it for routine maintenance to my watch guy in Taytay. Who knows if I change my mind? It's safe for now and running well. I just had to rest it to preserve the watch.
