How much does this watch worth ? Any clue ?
I bought it in an auction, paid more than CHF 1'000 to refurbish it at Zenith headquarters and wish to know what price should I ask...
Thank you.

 It's a calibre 3019 PHC El Primero.

One recently sold off of this site.

Contact him and he might let you know what it went for.

 Classic Zenith you should more than get your money back with the right buyer.

 Hey Trust !
Be glad to help you with that , as much as i can. According to the books and searches i have done. A zenith "elPrimero" can go for many different amounts in sales.
With out being right there with you to appraise it, ill have to go by the pics and your descriptions.
Zenith is a very collectible brand for a watch. If it is a 31 jewel model, it wouldnt go for quite as much as a 36 jewel model. A 36 jeweled model , in a solid 18k gold case , with all original face, case, movement, and band goes for $700.00 in average used condition to $3500.00 in Mint unused /new old stock condition. With original box and papers , it can go even higher.
For a non all gold case , and a different { though not a inferior} movement, you are probably going to see prices more along the lines of $300.00 in average condition to about maybe $2000.00 for Mint/New old stock. Again these prices reflect the watch being all original , with its original face ,case, movement, and band. Im only assuming working original condition.

it looks like your watch is in above average condition, perhaps excellent used condition. Hard to tell exactly from pics mind you. I think 600-800 dollars is what youd likely get for it on ebay , at maximum. Again, i cant tell from pics offhand it your watch is gold , stainless, or some form of basemetal. Zenith made all of the above in the years your watch was produced.
Just an opinion, of what i was able to find.
