Re: Seller Also Has a Very Rare El Primero
In Response To: Seller Also Has a Very Rare El Primero ()

The movement is very likely from a later watch. The rotor design is not appropriate for this vintage. Also, seller does not show winding bridge -- this is a commonly used way of concealing 1) a later El P, as these are not stamped the same as the original run (ZENITH 3019 PHC), which would have inhabited this case, or 2) a 17 jewel american-marked movement with a substituted rotor. Cheers, LS

I have no idea about authenticity, but this is a rare one --

: This is some trove of watches that the seller is offering; also,
: some very high (or optimistic) prices.
