FS: Zenith A. Cairelli AMI Issued Unpolished

For sale is the much sought after Zenith A. Cairelli Italian Air force issued watch. This watch is in gorgeous condition, and just has one minor flaw--it has lost its original bezel. This is technically a project watch because of that, however I think it does look just fine on the wrist without the bezel and can be worn as such until a bezel find its way to you! The case is unpolished and beautiful, with original crown and pushers. The caseback is AMI issued, which in itself is a rarity and much sought after. The dial is flawless, besides one small spec of dirt or smudge on the seconds sub-dial around the 55 second tick mark (Not noticeable unless you're looking hard). The hour, minutes, and seconds hands are all original and in great condition. This watch movement was serviced professionally only 3 weeks ago, and is ready to serve its new owner for some time moving forward. All functions work perfectly, including chronograph and timekeeping functionality.

Prices on these have gone sky high, but my price is very fair and attainable. I've seen these sell anywhere from $13K-$20K, with even an odd-ball auction result selling close to $60K.

For this example, because of the missing bezel, my price is at $7.5K USD or best offer. When a bezel does come up, this will be a beautiful and complete Cairelli, at a price way under $10K!

Please direct inquires to bjgreen10@comcast.net or find me on Instagram @universalchrono.

Cheers!
Brandon
