·Because of this forum, I felt I needed (yes, needed) a 135. These seem to be very hard to find. I rarely see them for sale, so I recently saw one on Ebay and I pounced. I don't know that I got a good deal, but I needed a 135!
I mostly got it for the pretty pretty movement.
The dial is redial (as evidenced by "CHRONOMETER" spelling and the lack of "SWISS" at the bottom. ), but I think that the hands and numbers are correct. Does anybody know if that's true?
I'm unsure about the model watch this is. On the case and on the inside of the back is "375."
and the outside of the case back is totally blank.
There's also a lot of watchmaker's marks on there from the 50s, 60s, and at least one from the 70s.
The best collection of 135 information I could find is http://forums.watchuseek.com/f27/ze...eries-zenith-caliber-135-overview-859709.html. From that it appears I have a 2nd series movement.
I don't think it's been serviced since the 70s, so I better send it to a watchmaker before it melts before my eyes.
