·Friends this is my first post here, although I am a frequent contributor on other watch forums. LouS asked me to share some photos and as for some opinions on this watch. I posted a photo of it on Jeff Stein's OTD Heuer forum and Lou sent me a private email questioning its originality, as did GiGi. I then sent them both sent them both a copy of a letter dated September 1970 from Zenith to the original owner which talks about this watch and which shows a drawing of the watch with setting instructions. After speaking with Lou on the phone he encouraged me to post some pictures here and get some of your opinions.
I will post two photos below...one of the dial and case front and one of the original letter from the factory. I will also include a link to a gallery of more photos. (These photos were taken with my iPhone so please excuse the quality)
I believe from family lore and records that the original owner ordered/purchased this watch from a jeweler in Lucerne and had it shipped to him in the US. This gent owned a lot of wonderful watches and corresponded frequently with the manufacturers.
I would love to have your opinions. Thank you all in advance.
