My pleasure! I feel that in the reference shown by Nicolas the blued hand is correct. In my reference is gold. Best, Abel

And now, something different: Rolex Zephyr, Ref 1008.

The 1008 was born somewhere in the 50's and was produced till the late 60's, early 70's. Here is a two-tone I could take in picture some weeks ago. On its papers, And now some ads... 34 mm case. They don't do it like this anymore... Best, Nicolas ...

Rolex

And now, something different: Rolex Zephyr, Ref 1008.

Nice, the $190.00 advertised price

IF you could find one, but as you cannot find anything in a Rolex Boutique, this is purely hypothetical. ;)

That is a discovery.

There are some exciting pieces outside the usual suspects... ;)

Is that Zephyr original?

I have a doubt, not only on the color but on the shape, too.

Yeah. What's also odd is the bezel. The Zephyr has "compass points" where as this one has batons.

The Zephyr came with the more often seen compass points bezel …

Thank you! And very interesting. I have never seen this bezel before.

There were quite some variations, indeed.

True!

Thank you, Abel!

My pleasure!

“Perhaps the handsomest watch in the world”

True, that made me laugh, too.

Great find. thank you. Everyday I can lean something new here.

Thanks, mon ami.

The Zephyr is an interesting intriguing piece not often seen.

Wonderful, my friend. Wow, I didn't know you also had this one. Abrazos. Y gracias por las informaciones.

My big pleasure dear Nicolas.

Yes, it is a reference which always pleased me, amigo.

It´s a charming watch indeed. Abrazos Nicolas! Abel

Yep... I am still keeping an eye on it.

That’s great!!
