Zenith G381 El Primero

[MMMD]

As promised, some photos of the G381 I snagged during the recent G381 monsoon season, when they were falling out of the sky.
Rössler tells us 700 of these were produced between 1969 and 1972. Recently, 5 or 6 were for sale simultaneously. I think I got a good one.

*Probably anachronistic solid 14k buckle, purchased separately.

I think you got a great one. It looks very good on your wrist. I am jealous!

This is one of the greats - deserves to be fully alongside the A 386. It is simply not possible to photograph this watch from a bad angle. Weird that as obviously excellent as this case design is, Zenith chose to house only two of their many Primero references in it.

Caso still didn't sell his one?
Did he come down in price or still sticking to E8.700?
