Second Score - Captain Yellow

[LouS]

More Zenith luxury and precision, this time a Captain Chronometer in yellow gold. I've never seen this one documented in any Zenith literature.

The symmetry of this dial is undisturbed by a date window

All shiny finish - unlike others I have seen. Clearly someone has cleaned off the lacquer, fortunately skillfully without disturbing the printing. But a challenge to photograph...

Cal 133.8 inside from 1958, a pretty early date for Captains.

Got my "Z" ticket punched twice

Rough couple of weeks of anticipation as two international deals came to fruition despite shipping hassles in each case - fortunately two good-natured and communicative sellers - vielen dank and mille grazie to them.

If I was a Longines collector, (and thank God I'm not) I'd be selling all my Conquests to buy those babys.
Magnifico

Did I mention my birthday just passed? Any one of them will do for a gift.

Blink blink. So shiny. I need one. Great pickup. If you get tired of anyone of those, let me know.

Very, very nice. Reminds me of one that got away (sold but still listed for sale on this website... most irritating).
