I'd vote a strong yes.
Some background & context... at first I just collected Heuers. Then I branched out a bit to all the 70s classic chronos - Zenith, Omega, Breitling, etc. After a while the non-Heuers just didn't interest me as much as the Heuers and I sold most of my non-Heuers. The only keepers were a couple of Zeniths and a few Omegas. The blue TV Zenith remains a keeper and a favourite of mine. It's sort of like a cool mongrel child of the Monaco and a classic vintage Audemar Piaget Royal Oak (with the built in bracelet). I really ejoy it whenever I wear it. My only comment would be I much prefer the integrated "coffin link" style bracelet, the bracelet is a superb work of art, solid and beautifully crafted - so maybe wait till you find one like that - I don't think watches with the integrated bracelet are that rare.
My only slight criticism is that maybe the hands are a bit small for the size of the watch, but other than that it is just a superb design.
This was one of my surprise buys on ebay - the guy did not even mention the box and papers and they just came as a present when the watch arrived. You don't really get that anymore. I'm not a big one for ephemera, but I just love the old skool computer punch card papers, that is just so classic 70's.
Good luck with the search, completely recommended.
