got three of my watches from the bank safe today that I wear much too rarely,
grabbed some iPhone pics, thought you might enjoy them.

Sinn 356 "Jubiläum" from 2001, a cal. 400 Zenith "El Primero" and a cal. 420 manual wind "Prime"

I love those hands on the Sinn. Very old school.

Particularly like those Zeniths. I know they are not a large marketer in the U.S., but I wonder how different, if any, their image would be here if most of us 40 or olders hadn't grown up with that name as a television brand.

and no Big Date, Roff, so they work flawlessly - is your Zenith finally ok ?

Define "OK" :roll:

Date is still changing every day so that's progress, but not always level in the window. Will definitely be my last big date Zenith, likely my last modern Zenith period (shoddy service is not watch dependent!). Plenty of classic vintage pieces out there though :wink:

true re the nice vintage pieces, though I've seen prices for nice early 70s 3019s rising massively lately, surprising recent results, on par w/ the early V72 806. Zenith service in the Americas seems to be very, very shoddy.

daylight pics of the cal. 420 below, for Sergio.

Awesome Fred. One day I'm going to go back thru all of your posts to figure out just how many watches you own!

Fred Love the SINN 356. I have been wearing a SINN ARKTIS and I love it very much.
