I have a vintage manual wind Zenith coming. It's my first from this brand and I know they aren't the name that some other brands are but they certainly have their place in horology history. Only bummer to this piece will be that I now have to buy a set of bands as it will come in with a nice Brown ostrich strap but I am sure I will want others and it's 18mm between lugs so my selection of bands for my other watches won't work. Pics once it arrives!

It came!!

Even though I knew it was coming, I couldn't go to work watchless. So I wore the 1953 6298 on a croc until the Zenith arrived.

The Zenith came in with an ostrich band and I am wearing kudu boots and cape buffalo belt so it fell right in!

Wrist shot.

Thanks guys! I'm loving how thin it is. I will probably wear it for the next few days and damn a rotation.

Very nice condition! I have a couple Port Royals with the 2562 movement. These Zenith/Martel movements are both reliable and accurate. This watch should serve you well for many years to come.
