My first Zenith arrived today.
My dad left me a couple of vintage watches.. an Omega Constellation Chronometre and a Rolex Oyster Perpetual.
This is my first Zenith and more importantly, the first vintage that I acquired on my own. It's a Chronometre 2000 which I read is not the most desired Zenith Chronometre and it has a redial I believe which makes it less pure but it has a very clean Cal 135 in it. I just red to figure out how to open the back for a shot.
I have a Longines 13ZN on the way in so in the meantime, pics of my humble Zenith Chronometre Cal 135.
A word of thanks to Dr No, Tony C, Suitbert, G99 and the many others who chimed in on my Vintage Sacriledge thread in Home. That started the active hunt and acquisition for venerable vintage movements.
I have no clue why the pics are coming this way when loaded with my Mac. No issues with PC. So sorry for the neck crank

Is the fatigue over?
Arthur, Congratulations! Baby steps......baby steps.....back to horology. I'm guessing the Mac is auto-rotating the photos. Before you press the SEND key, you can adjust the rotation of the photos on our photo uploader; maybe there's where its happening. ...
Far from it but fatigue functions as a very good filter for BS :-)
Thanks for the posting tip. Will try to figure that out.
Better? . . .
No need to strain anymore - viewing pleasure at its relaxing best! Well done, Arthur. I truly hope this foray into vintage will turn out to be the cure for that dreaded malady of horofatigue . You couldn't have picked a more worthy example than a cal 135....
Much. Thanks Art
I need to figure out how to post with a mac. I'm just so used to a PC.
Art,,,,,,, This watch is beautiful,,,,
it also fits your wrist proportionately.......The subdial is a winner,, I absolutely love this,,,,,YOU made the right desision,,,,,Wear it with pride,,,, because it came from,, the Best Watch Manufacture in the world,,,,,,Mark
very nice piece, congrats Arthur...
... in order to allow you to enjoy such superb movement, you must seriously consider to make the caseback transparent! by the way, just searched and read some mention in the net, there was only about 11,000 pieces of this movement produced! congrats, grea...
Thanks Stefan.
Yes, if I keep it in the case, I must have the sapphire case back made for this. The movement looks great.
