·Hi, perhaps this has been discussed here before, but I didn't find any thread relating to it. It seems to me that there is a significant group of Turkish watchmakers (http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/peneyes/&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2754 is one such... perhaps just one guy with multiple IDs, can't tell...) who appear to have any endless stream of Respirators coming through every week on eBay.
Are they all frankens, cobbled together from stray cases, dials and movements? There really doesn't seem to be a particular pattern to their offerings, though. Al
What's the story? Is Zenith a super popular brand in Turkey, and particularly Respirators? I know it's a bigger brand in Italy, for example, than it is in the UK, but Turkey? Kind of a premium priced watch brand for a country which used to be of limited means, no?
Okay, the offerings are probably lower than the general tastes of Zenith collectors here, but I admit that I've got a taste for Respirators and always keep an eye out. Any thoughts, opinions on the subject?
