First time I come across this type of zenith for restoration and need your opinion.

How much should I pay for it.

I don't have parts for it, neither have trawled ebay for used movements to it, are new parts available  ?

Your feedback is appreciated. TIA

If you want an opinion I agree with nickelsilver, and don't pay anything or a symbolic sum just for fun.
Atleast there will be lots of parts for it but not from any swiss manufacurer ;)

Thank you @nickelsilver   good thing I asked, never had one and am not familiar with el primero class.

Thank you @HSL  I best look into el primero before I become the proud owner of a fake one.

I have a link below where you can look at pictures of what it's supposed to look like and get a clue of pricing which of course does not apply to this watch at all.

Thank you john, I didn't know,  so many different version of el primero are made. WOW.

Now at a 30% sale.. but still with the 750 (18k gold mark).

Any chance that the gold mark is more genuine than the fake Zenith one?

Crappy movement with year indication GBP 20 (check Cousins)

All the rest to make it look horrendous GBP 15.

Consciously buy counterfeit watches and look like an idiot, priceless.

      Never and others. Yes like you I do spend a fair amount of time reading the contents of this forum. I find it better that any other. clear, lucid, no Prima Donas, and most of all an easy access without adverts. All thanks to Mark. God bless you mate. You give so much to many of us. What if? No Mark? Hypothetically. A forum. I did run a forum for a few years. Really enjoyed it, but became so engrossed that it did affect my health. I gave to to others to run. Not been back. It was very successful and rivalled a number of large paying sites. No adverts, no others but me. I did ask and listen to members comments and it worked well.    Costs Having a domain name, £10 annually.  Register the site with a forum company, free. Build the site using the forum company guide lines, free. It looked and ran almost the same a Mark's. All the same facilities. The cost was only £5 per month, but counted visits (views). If I recall, it was that price for 5,000 views. Each extra 5,000 views increased the price by £2 per month. Success was my own personal undoing. From £5 per month initially, it rose to £60 a month and looked like increasing. This was 10 years ago. I could not afford that, and asked it anyone would like to take over and someone did. I would assume that this is the price that Mark is funding for us all. His return is our continued comments on the internet about his course, and the fact that many of the big names on YouTube mention him as their Tutor. Those of us who have done, and are still using, his course, benefit. In comparison to other courses, I can't believe how cheap it is, and the value is exceptional. It is the structure that gives the value. Long may Mark reign. Ross

      Get someone local to tig it ,very easy fix and should only take a few minutes so probably wouldn’t cost much ,or failing that get it very clean and silver solder it. Dell

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      Hi, The winding pin is not split, well that's how it was when I obtained the watch. The movement is front-loaded and here's a picture of where the case screws are fitted. The face picture is before I dismantled it.

      I dont think mine is. Its an idea to have them all in one place if possible, then a quick screenshot will have them saved. Unless anyone has any other ideas of how to reconnect
