The Movado-Zenith TV El Primero

[MMMD]

Nice write-up on one of my earliest vintage acquisitions here. Terrific watches, still undervalued.

This is more than cool. But who had color tv,s in 1969? I didn't.

Let's see 'em if you got 'em, boys.

I'll toss in a 'Mourning Primero' to hot up the thread.

The Bullwinkle show followed by Disney, didn't get any better.

 

[Andy K]

Love mine!

 

[Darlinboy]

I had one briefly - just long enough to see it was not as decribed by the seller, and returned.

Still on my "opportunistic" buy list, and a notch or two higher after this thread.

At least 2/50 of the black disl are in the hands of OF members... Any more out there?



BTW - Fernseher.

There, someone had to say it.

My one and only Zenith! Love how it feels and looks (crystal soon to be replaced):

I'll play.

No wristshot. Still need a bracelet to fit my puny wrist.

Will that fit a 7.5" wrist? Seems it would be better suited for mine. Happy to be that guy to take one for the team and relieve the watch off your hands.

Here's mine, which hasn't been getting much wrist time lately. Time to change that!

You need one of those NSAs like jfwoodman and Andy K have - conforms much better to the wrist. A little easier to size too.

Thanks Lou.

One of my first high-end watches:



It is nice to see my photo show up on Tha Innanetz from time to time, but I do not regret letting my TV go. The all-black version is the only one that is clearly legible, and even then it could be improved. Lovely watch but very heavy and not exactly practical... Relatively speaking, of course!

I actually find mine quite legible. The only gripe I have about this great watch is that it suffers from TCS: Tiny Crown Syndrome. Or maybe I should look inward. Perhaps the watch is fine and I suffer from CFS: Chubby Finger Syndrome.

I really want one of these and lost the same one twice on eBay in last 2 weeks... first to a 0 shill bid then last night on the re-auction. Did it go to anyone here? I thought the about $1,500 price was a bit of a steal and I'm kicking myself for not sniping higher.

This is my black Fernseher. I did not yet shoot the blue version.

Cheers,
