Hey all. I picked up a Tokei Zara with its original instructions this week. I've see these photographed with watches before, but I don't think I've ever seen one spread out before. Interesting to note the don't adjust the date between 9 and 12 warning, as well as the advice not to dive or swim.    |

Super cool photos Tristan. Thank you for posting. Lost in this thread is theTokei Zara pickup itself - congrats !! The Tokei Zara itself is somewhat disappointing, Jon. While it's operating as it should and the crystal, dial and handset are fantastic, it has been poorly polished/brushed in the past. This wasn't evident in the low-res Gumtree photos. I'm in two minds whether to flip it or keep an eye out for a wreck with an unpolished case. |

It would be good to re create the hang tag and instructions so others could have copies.

These come up often on YJ in pretty good condition. I'm hoping that an original, if beat, case will come up. The hands and dial are great and everything is running nice so it would be nice to get it looking as it should. I'll hang onto it for a bit and see. |
