Good morning forum,

Would someone please take a look at these Zurbuchens and give me their analysis? I'm really considering this watch.

#1

#2

As always thank you for taking time out of your day to do this.

Mike

No significant difference in price , and imho 2nd one looks better , just the crown to replace by a neutral one . 1st has some wrong hands + bad dents on one horn .

Thank you Saabreit. What do you see wrong with the hands on the first one? I actually communicated with both sellers and the EBay one comes out to $150 more. You think its worth it?

Thanks again!!

Looking in detail at the links, I see that the aussie seller of the 2nd watch copied and pasted one of my BS posts about Zurbuchen in his description ...

Yes I saw that :) it's rare to find anything on the web about these watches. I was actually able to negotiate for the 2nd one and purchased it.

I believe Phil (Saabreit) posted the best info available here on BS a few years ago , that info was actually an eye opener for me
