Recently on IG I have found a few great accounts with collectors owning these pieces... perhaps one is you? Years ago I was turned off to these because of the large crown, but now I find them quite charming. Thanks so much for sharing this!
. . . given a choice between your current version and this one, it's vintage all the way. And I'm fully aware of how special Zenith's 5011K movement is . . .
The 5011k is also a very important piece to own if given the chance. I tend to be biased because I have a weakness for Pilot watches whether old or new. I’m always on the hunt for special/rare pieces and when I find what I like I never hesitate
