Case: Condition is 90% no scratchs, one small ding below the lower pusher which is not visible when the watch is on the wrist, no other dents and the brushed finish to the sides is in very good condition.
Dial & Hands: The dial and hands are immaculate with good lume still visible on the hour markers and the hands.
Crystal: The sapphire crystal is flawless with no scratches or chips only slight scores on the AR coating which is almost impossible to capture in a picture.
Bezel: The bezel is 98% and rotates freely with no scratches to the insert.
Caseback: The case back is 90% with perhaps the slightest of tool marks on the recesses, all markings and model number are clearly visible.
Crown: Original crown works perfectly.
Pushers: Original pushers work flawlessy and the chronograph functions work as they should with all sub hands snapping back to the 12 o'clock position as they should.
Bracelet: Is the original one to this watch and is 95% with minimal wear with faint desk diving swirls on the clasp which could be polished out. It is sized to fit a 7-3/4" wrist.
Box: I have a complete box with outer and inner cardboard original to this watch but have somehow lost the paperwork.
There were only ever 4,100 pieces made in 1999 so this is a very rare watch. See this post for some histroy ZENITH RAINBOW EL PRIMERO OVERVIEW: all the different models (1992-1999)
The watch has had a complete service (cost to me $425) so there is no need to worry about that.
I am asking a very reasonable $2300 OBO PayPal fees to buyer which includes free DHL shipping, or alternatively I will accept a wire transfer should this be your preference.
This is a stunning watch and anyone who knows their watches knows this is a great price.
