Zenith 5011 Vintage Movement Pocket Watch Limited

Key Points from the Discussion

• The allocation process for highly sought-after limited editions, like the Omega Ed White, involves a rigorous vetting of clients by boutique managers to prevent flipping, often resulting in long wait times.
• Zenith possesses a treasure trove of older, untouched calibers that could be revived for limited editions, similar to Omega's successful reintroduction of the Caliber 321.
• The large size of the Zenith 5011K movement makes it challenging to case in a reasonably sized wristwatch, limiting its appeal for some collectors.
• Zenith's older calibers, while appealing to enthusiasts, may have a more limited market compared to mass-market offerings from brands like Omega.
• There is interest in a more accessible version of Zenith's limited pieces, potentially in steel with a less elaborate dial.
• A collector inquired about the specific reference number of the featured Zenith piece to try it on, highlighting the desire for hands-on experience.
• A user asked for clarification on whether the Type 20 movement hacks when the crown is pulled to set the time.
