Old Zenith El Primero Value.

[detee]

I have been asked by a friend of mine for some help in obtaining a value for his watch.

I have enclosed some not great photos, ignore the Rotary.

If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it, he wants to sell it and has no idea. and neither do I!

Thank you in advance,

David

Hi David,
Are there any more details on the watch? Is the watch as is, does it have the original Zenith boxes and paperwork? How old is the watch, and what is the condition (looks a little tatty in the images).
Interested, would like to know more...

It looks much like this one: http://www.fitzroviawatches.co.uk/Sold%20Archive/Z...

Assuming good condition and with box & papers: £4000 ish in a private sale.

Thank you both, as far as I am concerned, I think there is the box but will check on the papers. I believe it is from the early 1970's.

I have same watch but with a black dial, the watch is mid 1990's onwards... D

Maybe £10-£15 on a good day?

Dom,

There is no papers, but yes to a box. I agree on the condition it may have to go to on elf your magicians!

I have enclosed the serial number info.

Thanks,

David

Judging from the pushers and hands I'd say not early seventies but rather late nineties or thereabouts. May not be quite 4K value in these, but who knows.

ETA - as above @ Dom & the serial number is really the model number.

Wow, your one and only joke gets funnier every time

Unless I am well out I would be astonished if that made £4k or anything like it.

It looks very similar to the Class Sport though somewhat dressier (and gold rather than steel). I have owned two Class Sports and in fact I am wearing one of them right now. Both were bought (with complete box and papers) in the £1500-£2k range and I'd guess the same for this one, perhaps nearer the £1500 mark.

The gold might make it worth a little more but the dress-y-ness a little less

Not really on-topic, but another valuation thats worth virtually nothing, I see.

Thanks everyone I am inclined to agree regarding valuation. I will have a chat with him and see what he wants to do. Its a nice piece but it is probably best going to a dealer to clean up and present properly.
