·Hi @ all you experienced ones in the field of Zenith!
I am thinking about buying an A385 (Case Nr. 708Dxxx) and would like to get please your opinions on one, that I found some days ago.
Would not have given it a look to a year ago because of its colour, but I owned for some months a
Defy A7681 with the heavy tonneau shape on my wrist, and to my big surprise l liked it very much, and this A385 has exactly the same khaki tones. Nobody in my surrounding likes this colour.... ;-)
As far as I have learned here (thx a lot to all!) about the EPs, this one looks basically correct?
Looks like a beaten warrior to me when I look at the bottom of the case and my main concern is about the condition of the refurbished case in relation to the price the seller wants. Did not yet get into negotions, but I „think“ I could get it somewhere in the range from Euro 4k - 4.5k. Yes they are climbing, and like many others I am to late to the party, but may be I am not completely lost? So to get one, is it advisible to wait patiently for a better one? I know, this is a tricky question....
Some other issues:
movement will need a service
the broken (or scratched) glass at 12h (replacement glass looks to high anyways in the first place?)
the 30 min hand is probably also a replacement cause it is thicker than the other 2 hands?
the missing „M“ in „TACHYMETRE“
thx for your attention!
