·..... that I don't think I've ever had as much fun reading posts in a forum about a brand I have no freaking clue about. It's like a laid back class with a platoon of cool teachers.

Probably will end up going both ways, some Zenith guys are probably going to try the Pie-Pans and Speedmasters out at some point as well, while more than a few of us are now hunting an A386
Thanks very much for providing this forum for us Zenithites/Zenitistas/whatever we are. An excellent place to focus on the vintage.
Every time I draw a bead on a nice cal 321 moon watch, the Golden Squirrel of Distraction runs by in the form of an El Primero. Someday...
...but I do have this warty little thing, bought on a whim at a pawn shop:
The arrowheads are white. Don't tell me I have a knack for Omegas. Well, this should expose me as a fraud... something's missing:
How do I get me one of those little gold buttons with the igloo and the stars to pop in here?

Better idea IMO, give that caseback to a watchmaker and get them to cut out the center and turn it into a sapphire displayback
Get a shot of the inside of the caseback and keep your eyes peeled on eBay for a NOS or nice conditioned replacement. They do pop up now & again for quite a few references.
I like it.
If you're not ruining a good caseback there's no loss, and frankly since every modern watch with a displayback under $5k is an ETA 2892-A2 or a 7750, the Constellation movements by comparison are nothing short of beautiful
I agree that since the caseback is ruined anyway to go for the display back.
I disagree with the blanket statement about all 2892-A2's being less attractive than Connie bumpers though.
Is that connie a bumper? Looked like a 2852 with a 501/505 to me :\
