After a few near misses and some ill-advised thoughts about buying a beat up version for restoration, I managed to find an A3651 in great condition at a fair price.  The A3651 was one of the early Defy models offered by Zenith after rolling out the Defy line in 1969. My watch is from a later run (likely 1972 or '73), by which time the movement had been updated to a 2562 PC and the model number switched to 01-1070-290 as part of the new 9 digit system that stopped identifying each case by a different number.  The movement has clearly been serviced recently and the rubber seals are in perfect condition.  This watch came on a blue Zenith band, but some of the initial catalogs show it with the GF "ladder" metal bands. Often with these late 60s/early 70s models, the crown has been replaced with a more modern Zenith crown. Fortunately, mine still had the original crown.  Finally, a shot on the wrist where you can really see the amazing condition of the dial and lume...  Thanks for checking out my new arrival. Mike

I love the design of this watch - from the octagonal case, to the simple but stylish face, to the cool hands... Bravo. D

Amazing find, Mike. That's a must have for every Zenith fan. That's already star caliber, right? All this time I thought the star caliber was a recent issue....back to 10 years ago. I envy you, amigo Last edited on Wed May 16th, 2012 10:53 am by bigrustypig |

Thanks everyone. Sometimes you just get lucky. I got a tip from a fellow collector that it had gone up for sale and I bought it immediately. You'll be seeing it a lot on the WRUW threads. Mike
