· ·Mrs Nataf's Other SonAnother of the madly addictive Captain Chronometers, this one in spectacular condition - one of those gifted and drawered watches.
correct crown
This one also had the original strap and buckle, but it's been removed in favor of a new Camille Fournet glossy alligator
The dial has the brushed center and the mirror-finish minute track. They exist in the opposite configuration, as seen here:http://omegaforums.net/threads/zenith-captain-chronometre-cal-133-8.2869/
Cal 133.8 inside..
..and Z on the back. Note the clearly preserved machine finish. No watchmaker's marks on the inside.
Here it is with its pink sister watch
Does the pink one seem larger to you? It is, by about 1mm in diameter, and it's 1mm thicker too, even though it has had a polish. Same casemaker too. Very interesting - I assumed these were all the same size, at least until the Martel calibers were introduced.
Anyway, you know who strikes again!

I know it would be very long shot, but I tend to find the watch that I dibs......somewhere else
