A Week On The Wrist: The Zenith El Primero Reference A3817
If you have been following HODINKEE, you might agree with us that Zenith is a manufacturer that produces some of the more value-for-money watches these days. There are few totally in-house chronograph movements that can be had for just around $10,000, and which come in such a variety of dial and case designs ranging from sporty, to totally classic, to something in-between. Most modern watch collectors would probably also recognize the distinctive tri-color dial, especially with the recent lineup of watches such as the Zenith El Primero 36,000 VPH or El Primero Original 1969. And as most of you might know, the tri-colored dial originates from the Zenith El Primero ref A386, a watch produced in 1969 with the (arguably) first high-beat automatic chronograph. 1 OF 15 But did you know that the reference A386 was not the only watch in the El-Primero family with the tri-color dial? There was one other, less well known cousin to the ref A386, which has a more interestingly design

An Observation I Made
I was browsing the Panerai catalog that arrived around the same time I got my PAM 320. I realised that the time on each model displayed showed the time 10:10 and for models with the date was displayed 28.I thought to myself where have I seen that display before? I realised that Rolex use the same time and date configuration on their watches for advertisements !Is Panerai playing a silent homage to Rolex for providing movements in the past or is it a coincidence?Just my thoughts!

Getting started Intro and a question... :-D
Hi everyone. NFG here! A few months ago I decided that I wanted to learn a new hobby so I've been scouring the library here in town, the net, and I've watched alot of Youtube videos on how to repair old mechanical wind up watches. Not to mention this is something I can do that won't take up alot of room. I'm skilled as a mechanic (locomotive and automobile) so I figure this is a natural extension to my existing skill set. I don't think I want to start collecting watches, although it is an interesting subject. I would love to know the correct terminology, proper diagnostic and repair procedures. Also how to identify what it is I may be looking at. Anyways I went and bought a crappy old Ingraham pocket watch for 10 dollars off Ebay. I doesn't run, but its complete. I figure this will make a great learning experience and for the investment, I'm not going to be upset if I destroy it on accident.. :)Looks exactly like this:For all you experienced watch fans...What items would be needed t

Omg im so stupid
So today I got super glue on my rotating bezel on my ocean ghost. It won't turn and is fixed solid (long story) does anyone know what I should do? Besides hang my head in shame and sit in the corner?

Advice needed with Omega PO
Over the last several months I've acquired several timepieces with the most recent being an Omega PO (orange number dial and rubber strap with orange stitching). My dilemma is I've fallen out of love with it. I admire the quality of construction and the co-axial movement and from a objective point of view the time piece is hard to fault. But it just doesn't stirr my emotions. My AD has a pre-loved Cartier Santos 100 XL (non chrono) for sale and I really like it. Would I be making a mistake by selling the Omega for the Cartier??I have been visiting this site for months now and find it rather addictive. There are a lot of knowledgeable members on this site which makes it even more interesting. JJ has over 49k posts !!! with a few other members not far behind. Heck, I even bought a new camera to take a few awesome pics of my time pieces and to no avail I can't seem to get my pics to appear like the guys here. Macro functions I am still toying with. I'll get there !!! Again, I w
