·Hello All,
I'm new to this sub-forum and have arrived seeking relief from some weird symptoms...
I have recently been experiencing an overwhelming and irrational desire for a vintage Zenith Chronometer. I seem to have been infected after indulging in risky, promiscuous unsafe browsing (looking at some of the beautiful vintage photos from collectors here)! I'm told my condition is incurable and the only way to ease my symptoms is to acquire an example of my very own...
Can someone who has been living with this condition longer than I have, please recommend a reference and caliber to help me begin my search? And perhaps recommend a respected Zenith dealer I should contact?
I'm seeking something "interesting and collectable" that will fit into my collection of mostly Rolex sport pieces. I value a date function; 36-40mm is my preferred size and I have a budget of around US$3.5K.
I've encountered some ridiculously beautiful pieces on Ebay such as the one below but at this stage in my learnings, I wouldn't know how to spot a franken or fake. I have the desire and means but not yet the courage... I would like to narrow down my search to a particular reference (or two) and then connect with a reputable seller. Is anyone here able to help guide me? Or am I asking or expecting too much?
Thanks
Colin
