31 Jewel Zenith Movement?

[ozzig]

Hello Everyone!

I guess this is kinda a newbie question, but I guess that's because I am one for now..... My question is... Does anyone know of or ever heard of 31 Jewel Zenith Movement?

exact specs:

Zenith Automatic 2671 - Debut 2005 -

What is the point to your question? Yes Zenith makes a 31 jewel chronograph movement named El Primero. Are you contemplating a purchase of a replica that has this inside? If so be very careful.............................

Lots of replica scam sites advertise their POS watches with "Zenith movement". It's all bs.

El Primero is very fine chronograph movement, and it's used in expensive watches like Zenith (obviously), Rolex Daytona, Ebel 1911 and TAG Calibre 36. The movement itself is probably worth around $1K (preowned) alone.

I seriously doubt any rep advertised has this movement... unless it's a hardcore frankenwatch a'la Ubi.
